Reviews

[Matt Mazenauer · Rating 4 out of 5]

Genuinely interesting little book of elephant factoids. It hearkens back to all those "science makes you smarter" books you read as a kid, but the combo of some new stuff I didn't know and some good illustrations and photos, it's a pleasant little read.

This book inspired many a school science essay, and sparked my interest in the factual origins of myth.

I learned all about the structure and habits of elephants.
