An afternoon of elephant discovery

A safari outing becomes a sequence of close observations as a young photographer encounters an elephant in the savanna. The book pairs this expedition with informational sidebars, using everyday comparisons—eating, swimming, and keeping cool—to introduce details about elephant behavior and physical traits. Its focus stays on one animal, while the sidebars add context to what the girl observes, including how elephants use memory to locate familiar watering holes and their ears to fan themselves.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in elephants and wildlife
  • Young readers who enjoy picture books combining an adventure with animal facts
  • Families or educators seeking an introductory book about elephant behavior

Book overview

On safari in the savanna, a curious little girl follows a large new friend

While on a safari adventure, a budding photographer meets an elephant friend while taking pictures of the scenery. The encounter turns into an afternoon of observation and discovery. From eating, to swimming, to pooping, elephants are just like us ... aren't they? Well, maybe not quite ...

For instance, when you spot an elephant, you might be tempted to offer her a water bottle in the sweaty, savanna heat. But not to worry! A sidebar explains that elephants are very intelligent animals who rely on memory to find watering holes they've visited in the past. Oh, and they also have big ears and can fan themselves to keep cool!

Throughout this wildlife adventure, fun-to-read sidebars add context by describing a variety of fascinating facts about elephants, while colorful, warm illustrations perfectly capture the playful savanna expedition in this informational picture book.
