(3) K-3 Illustrated by John Butler. Little Thunderfoot spends his days playing and learning the ways of the herd from their matriarch, Wise Old One, until she's shot and the herd must survive without her. Grindley believably conveys the social nature of these gentle giants, supporting the story's details with an appended section of elephant facts. Butler's softly realistic paintings capture the subtleties of emotion without anthropomorphizing.
