[Kate]

Elephants is a great book for students to learn about elephants. It is filled with a lot of information about elephants and how they live. This would be a great book to use for projects. The students could read this and create a project on elephants. It is full of true information so it be great. I would probably use this book with older students.

This book about elephants was very well laid out and have good information. The book had a nice flow to it. The information was specific to different types of elephants, where they are found, what they eat and more. The book also does a good job at explaining what their specific body parts help them do to survive and behave. The book also takes you through the life of an elephant from birth to saving the elephants.

I didn’t realize there were so many different types of elephants. I liked the use of drawings, illustrations, and photos.

Abraham enjoyed reading this one independently and also aloud to me. These Usborne Beginners about animals have been a good fit for him for reading practice and building confidence.

Why mention what a male elephant and a baby elephant are called and not mention what a female elephant is called? She's a cow. Be consistent with your information.
