The Elephant | 
“The elephants two pointed tusks are long“.
My favorite part about this book was the illustrations. They were scientifically accurate, very detailed, and beautifully done.

pickThe Elephant by Jenni Desmond was such an amazing book. The book is about one of the large, endangered animals of Earth, as we join a young boy as he learns about The Elephant. Elephants are from Africa to Asia and they are light on their feet, despite their great weight. They are graceful because they‘re always walking on their tip-toes. They have great hearing and detect other elephants from 6 miles away. Great book to learn about elephants.
pickI am a fan of Desmond's books. They are equal parts informative and lovely. Though she writes about animals we are familiar with, she always manages to add information that I find surprising. In this book it was that one of the differences between Asian elephants and African Savanna elephants is that the former have a one-fingered trunk, while the later has a two-fingered trunk. Once again the illustrations are stunning. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
