This simple tale of the life of a herd of elephants, as told from
the point-of-view of their newest arrival, teaches readers what it
might be like to be one. The many trunks of the herd members stroke
the new baby to welcome her - they will all protect her if danger
threatens. Soon Elephant is playing with the other youngsters and
learning how to use her trunk. Time passes, and her mother has
another baby to watch over. The herd is hungry, as there has been
no rain, so they trample a fence around a green field and eat
hungrily. But when the farmer comes to frighten them away, it is
Elephant who goes back for her sibling and leads it to safety.
Stojic limns her subjects with a mystical quality that makes them
seem human-like in their actions. Lushly painted illustrations put
readers at Elephant's eye-level, broadly daubed paints giving the
elephants both mass and texture. A good introduction to both
elephants and empathy. (author's note) (Picture book/nonfiction.
3-6) (Kirkus Reviews)
Elephant's Story is a gorgeously painted and wonderfully told story
that introduces young readers to natural history. This is
non-fiction at it's freshest - filled with clear information and
facts as well as drama and excitement.
