Published Reviews
Booklist Review: "In this rich addition to the Strange and Wonderful series, readers will learn amazing facts about elephants' bodies, communication, life cycle, diet, and social groups, as well as about different elephant species, environmental challenges they face, and their importance in various human cultures. The text does not shy away from sophisticated and specialized vocabulary such as allomother and incisors (Pringle clearly defines such words both in the text and in a glossary). Pringle particularly emphasizes the important roles played by elephant families in everything from migration to raising young to self-defense. Each family is led by an older matriarch and consists of a group of adult females and their young, including both males and females. Unusually for new books with this level of factual information, each spread includes illustrations, rather than photographs. These soft, rich illustrations will likely draw readers in and can help them build a closer connection with the elephants shown. An excellent resource for reports, or for curious readers ready to delve into information about these gigantic and extraordinary animals."
