This is an all about elephants book。 This animal is so fascinating and there are so many qualities about them that make them unique。 There are two types of elephants, African and Asian。 These elephants may look alike, but they have different characteristics that set them apart。 There living habitats are also very different。 African elephants live in the desert, while Asian elephants live in shady jungles。 This book talks about their families and how they take care of each other。 Lastly, it even This is an all about elephants book。 This animal is so fascinating and there are so many qualities about them that make them unique。 There are two types of elephants, African and Asian。 These elephants may look alike, but they have different characteristics that set them apart。 There living habitats are also very different。 African elephants live in the desert, while Asian elephants live in shady jungles。 This book talks about their families and how they take care of each other。 Lastly, it even explains why their body parts are useful for their everyday life。 I gave this book a 5 star rating。 I thought is was really interesting and provided information that I had never heard before。 I enjoyed how after each chapter there was a checkpoint where students could check their knowledge to see if they understood the material。 I thought that the illustrations were very neat and helped with the overall picture of the book。 Important pictures were labeled to help show what the general understanding was and what was important to take away from the illustrations。 。。。more
Aimee Dars,
Happy World Elephant Day! 🐘 These majestic herbivores develop strong social ties within their matriarchal social groups。 Not only are they one of the world’s largest land mammals, they are also one of the most intelligent, able to use tools and solve problems。 They can communicate with each other from up to two miles apart, and they show empathy, even mourning their dead。 Sadly, elephant populations are under extreme threat primarily due to habit loss and poaching。Today, I thought I’d read Natio Happy World Elephant Day! 🐘 These majestic herbivores develop strong social ties within their matriarchal social groups。 Not only are they one of the world’s largest land mammals, they are also one of the most intelligent, able to use tools and solve problems。 They can communicate with each other from up to two miles apart, and they show empathy, even mourning their dead。 Sadly, elephant populations are under extreme threat primarily due to habit loss and poaching。Today, I thought I’d read National Geographic Readers: Elephants to honor these animals。 Geared toward ages two to five, this is one of National Geographic’s “You Read, I Read” series。 One page is designed for a parent or guardian to read aloud with a challenging world highlighted while the facing page is designed for the child to read and repeats the highlighted word。 Each of the brief chapters concludes with a different interactive activity to reinforce comprehension and retention。This volume about elephants included a lot of information on their body parts, like their trunks and ears, their families, their needs, such as diet, sleep, and water, and their habitat。 The text is engaging and age appropriate with the help of an older reader, and the numerous color photographs are phenomenal。 The book mentions the declining elephant population and that organizations are trying to help but doesn’t provide details。 National Geographic Readers: Elephants is a wonderful introduction to the natural history of elephants for young readers, and the illustrations will absolutely delight them。If you want to see amazing pictures of elephants and learn how to help, please visit these excellent organizations:The Elephant Sanctuary The African Wildlife Foundation The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust 。。。more
Samantha,
This book tells all about elephants。 It presents facts with pictures, statements, and charts。 This would be a good book to use when writing about elephants or doing research。

I really like these "you read, I read" style books。 The parent reads one side of the page and the child reads the other side。 Good way to get more facts in without stretching too far beyond their reading level。 Good vocabulary building simply because they are more engaged with the page because they will be reading the other side。 Great way to introduce new words to their reading vocabulary。 Pictures are good quality and the information is engaging。 I really like these "you read, I read" style books。 The parent reads one side of the page and the child reads the other side。 Good way to get more facts in without stretching too far beyond their reading level。 Good vocabulary building simply because they are more engaged with the page because they will be reading the other side。 Great way to introduce new words to their reading vocabulary。 Pictures are good quality and the information is engaging。 。。。more
