Updated schedule for #SheSaid!
We had 1 book with 5 votes (Wild Swans) and 4 with 4 votes. I added them all to our schedule for 2026 along with our 2 fiction reads. I did bump Wild Swans back to March, so we could read it and the follow-up book by the author after (and hopefully 🤞 when the hold lines at the library are not so long for a new release 😬). Then there were about 12 books tied after that…so new vote this summer.
I‘d bring this book into the classroom when my students are working on animal research. It would be especially helpful for anyone who picks elephants as their topic.
The Elephant Scientist is written in a way that‘s really straightforward and simple to follow. The ideas are explained clearly, making the science easy to understand. It‘s well-matched to its readers because it uses accessible language and real-life photographs to hold attention. The authors keep it engaging by blending scientific details with their own experiences, which helps readers stay curious and learn more about elephants and how
“As an elephant scientist, she relies on patience and perseverance to identify and measure the social behaviors of the majestic mammal“
