PreS-Gr 2–An intrepid but not highly observant young explorer named Alex loves elephants and goes out on an expedition to find some “real” ones. Along the way, Alex meets a great many other wild animals, but fails to be looking in the right direction when the elephants are actually oh so close. Alex has a detailed and inspiring journal full of elephant information, and by the end of the book, young animal enthusiasts will have a highly informative guide to creating an animal journal of their own. Alex is a cheerful and diligent character, and the learning is made fun through humorous illustrations that will have readers pulling for Alex to look thoroughly and see the elephants right there on the page.
VERDICT An entertaining introduction to elephants, this title will be enjoyed by elementary students and hopefully inspire young researchers to create their own research journals.
