The Book

An adorable little elephant shares her life and her world in this fantastic picture book from the Really Wild Family Series. 

She lives in a group of elephants called a herd which is big and has very caring and loving members.  The leader is her Mummy and her wise Grandma plays a very important role in the safety and guidance of the journeys and activities that the group take part in. 

Little elephant documents: what happens in the herd, how they are 'ecosystem engineers', the role of female elephants, and why these magnificent animals are endangered.  

The illustrations are wonderful and the author has included an engaging and fun component at the end of the book comprised of craft projects, case studies and even a quiz.  This is a celebration of elephants and the perfect book to share. Children can explore and learn about elephant habitats, their family dynamics, and how they play, grow and survive as a family. 

I love this amazing book and I highly, highly recommend it.
