"This touching true story portrays conservationist Lawrence Anthony's relationship with a frightened, hunted elephant herd that found a home at his reserve in South Africa, Thula Thula. . . The importance of conservation shines through the friendship story here, and both themes are beautifully complemented by Hooper's detailed, atmospheric drawings of the elephants and their surroundings."-- Booklist, "This touching true story portrays conservationist Lawrence Anthony's relationship with a frightened, hunted elephant herd that found a home at his reserve in South Africa, Thula Thula. . . The importance of conservation shines through the friendship story here, and both themes are beautifully complemented by Hooper's detailed, atmospheric drawings of the elephants and their surroundings."- Booklist?, "[A] moving true story. . . (Have tissues handy.) [ The Elephants Come Home 's] flawless, gentle pacing [and] pages with saturated, eye-catching teal, copper, and emerald hues. . . . heighten the story's emotional impact. . ."-- The Horn Book Magazine, "The illustrations are expansive with a limited color palette of warm oranges and cool greens and blues. The animal characters are dynamic, humorous, and emotive. . . . A sentimental but high-interest story based on true events of the bond between wild animals and the humans who care for them, suitable for early elementary students."-- School Library Journal, "This touching true story portrays conservationist Lawrence Anthony's relationship with a frightened, hunted elephant herd that found a home at his reserve in South Africa, Thula Thula. . .

Very good condition, one corner bent slightly from shipping, was able to straighten it (book is for my granddaughter). Just a tiny dot showing the book is a remainder instead of more noticeable slash. Otherwise looks brand new. Great buy 2 get 1 free as well, better than other sellers' small % off.
