inspiring book that illustrates the beauty within all, hope for an endangered species, connection between humans, animals, and our planet. Proceeds of the book benefit this innovation collaboration- I plan to purchase gift copies for birthdays, holidays.. really wonderful book for all ages.

This book has quickly become my 5 1/2 year-old daughter's favorite. She delights in looking at the paintings made by elephants, and I appreciate the way facts about elephants are "sneaked" into the story so seamlessly. Switching back and forth between human students and animal ones makes for an engaging structure. There is humor as well as beauty. Best of all, the book has made us look at elephants--and by extension animals--in a new way (and has also broadened my daughter's concepts of what grown-ups can do as careers). We both really love this book.

I was impressed with how fast I got the book. The only thing I found a little confusing was how to delete a purchase and ended up getting two of the same book as I was trying to mail to two different addresses. The return was easy though.

This book was on the summer reading list for my daughter's upcoming first grade year. After receiving it, we read it together and both thought it is very good. Each page has something a child can read, and a small paragraph for me to read. We enjoyed reading this together and have done so many times. She especially enjoyed looking at the pictures of the paintings the Elephants (!) had painted. We both highly recommend this book.
