From Booklist
K-Gr. 2. With relaxed, informal words and realistic illustrations in watercolor and colored pencil, this boisterous picture book brings children close to exciting facts about African elephants in the wild. Elephants are huge, and so are their families, and the double-page spreads burst with information about how much an elephant eats and weighs, and the role of grandma as leader. The pictures are detailed enough to show the elephants' wrinkled skin; huge, flapping ears; and tough hairs, and the words express the commotion in the herd as well as the leader's role in the herd's survival (when she makes a great hullabaloo, she's probably bluffing; but when she's silent with her trunk tucked under, "then she means business"). Exciting for story hour sharing, this is also a good picture book for the classroom, and, though there's no mention of tusks and the ivory trade, Jenkins' final conservation plea can spark discussion.
