(3) K-3 Illustrated by Fabricio VandenBroeck. When all the usual places are dry during a long drought, elephant Little Calf's grandmother remembers a watering hole from a long-ago drought and leads the herd to water. Based on a real incident in Tanzania's Tarangire National Park (per the informative note), this suspenseful story highlights elephant intelligence and resourcefulness. VandenBroeck's paintings evoke textures of the arid savannah. Reading list, websites.
