Publisher Description

Have you herd? There's a new volume in First Second's STEM graphic novel series: Science Comics: Elephants!

Did you know elephants are the world's largest land animals? Male African elephants can reach ten feet tall and weigh up to 16,500 pounds! These endangered animals are beloved for their massive ears, thick skin, and flexible trunks, as well as their remarkable intelligence and empathy. And despite their size, the more you get to know them, the more you'll realize humans and elephants have a lot in common!

“Science comics are always so much fun to read! They are illustrated well, contains so many facts about their subject, and are written in an engaging way. I feel like some of the terms of this may go over some children's head, but otherwise a lovely book about elephants.”
“This was a lovely experience. Graphic novels are hugely popular for my students right now. Elephants are so fascinating for children. My own elementary aged child and I read through this together. He loved the graphic depictions. He also really enjoyed the blending of both the informational facts and storytelling elements. As he is the perfect age (5th grade) for the Science Comics, I can gladly say they are age appropriate and easily capture the attention of young readers. (3rd through 6th would also enjoy these.) He has since asked me to look for more Science Comics as he enjoyed this one so much, that he cannot wait to read more. It is a wonderful way to engage students in nonfiction, in a format they want to read. Thank you so much to NetGalley and the author for this engaging and wonderful book. We both loved reading it.”
“This is definitely geared towards the 9-12 range, this particular comic would be a little frightening for children younger than that. That being said it’s a lot of great information with some spectacular art. A great learning tool and a must have for schools and libraries.”
