So, I was in the hospital for a week on a ketamine drip (for pain management) when I ordered this book. I was trying to finish a murder/suspense novel, but I couldn't concentrate because I kept seeing myself reading as if I was looking through mirrors and it was really trippy. Then I started to cry because of the animal slaughter industry and animal suffering. This was the first hour on the drip. My doctor came in and told me I wasn't allowed to be reading anything disturbing. I asked if I could call my ex-boyfriend so my doctor could talk to him and tell him that he (the ex) was a pathetic schizoid loser with male pattern baldness. My phone was disconnected. I then used the red light from the oxygen monitor on my finger to try and laser open my doctor's head. They turned up the ketamine, and a week later, after I had been released from the hospital, I found that my friend had downloaded cute animal books. I don't remember them, so they're getting a solid 3.

As an E-book and audiobook, All About Elephants is a nonfiction book and recommends for 3 - 5 years old young kids. This book has the solid basics of elephant facts; what they look like, where they live, grooming, what they eat, social life, mating, mythology, and famous our character; Jumbo. Elephants are one of my favorite animals, so I enjoyed this book. I did learn some facts that I didn't know, but I read it in just a few minutes while standing up. It is a short book but an excellent starter. Last pages introduce fun facts about elephant; it's my favorite part. When author introduces each chapter, the several nice photos add up more informative facts. There are about fourteen "All About ..." books, and this one of them. I rated 5 stars because plot and narrative are simple and organized well so, it’s good to audio book took without physical book. So, if you have a young reader who has a taste for nonfiction books and who likes nature and animal fact books this could be a nice and entertaining choice. As a young reader activity, I will prepare handprint make fine elephants. When kids stamped their hand on the paper, they can see the perfect handprint elephants.

It was good and I love ekephants. But it was really boring there needed to be action.

I gave it a 4 star because it was fun to learn about elephants but it was also boring. I really like to learn about elephants.

Short has good info but not a lot and you need a lot more info to teach the kids that elephants rant just things with trunks
