Amanda Kordeliski

Fascinating read about the different types of elephants and how they communicate. The book was appealing and easy to read and understand. The photographs and illustrations were eye catching and informative. The book is divided between the different types of communication used by the three species of elephants. Downer also discusses current elephant conservation efforts and the controversies surrounding them. Contains an elephant dictionary, extensive bibliography and websites and suggestions for further reading. Very appealing to middle schools who are searching for readable nonfiction texts that correlate with the CCSS.
