Elephants

Elephants is an illustrated introduction to the largest animals living on land. It opens with questions children tend to ask: how much an elephant eats in a day, whether elephants really hold hands, and what they do when the weather gets very hot.

Kate Riggs explains where elephants are found, how heavy they are, how they play, and more. Colour photographs and facts show African and Asian elephants, males and females, both at play and at rest.

A folktale at the end tells why elephants have such long trunks.
