The Elephant

Jenni Desmond's children's book about endangered species teaches our children about the world's largest land mammal. Elephants have roamed the African plains and Asian deciduous forests for millions of years. However, their numbers have plummeted due to drought, habitat loss, and poaching.

These magnificent creatures, despite their massive size, are known to be quite flexible and have a keen sense of hearing. They can hear other elephants rumble up to six miles away. Even more intriguing, some elephants have right-sided tusks while others have left-sided tusks, just like humans.

The Elephant by Jenni Desmond is an excellent endangered species book to choose if you want your children to learn about endangered species from an early age. Jenni Desmond is known for her scientifically accurate illustrations that are incredibly detailed and beautifully made from paint, collage, and colored pencil. She even won the "New York Times Best Illustrated" award in 2016.
