Science Comics: Elephants Reviews

4.0
“As both a biologist and a lover of art, this book is wonderful for children and really anyone. There is a lot of good information presented in a easy to understand way, without it being overly simplified.”
“https://openbooksociety.com/article/elephants-living-large-science-comics-by-jason-viola-book-review/ Brought to you by OBS reviewer Andra Another educational delight in the Science Comics series! Elephants are such interesting animals! As always, a fun and entertaining journey learning about elephants in a way, I feel, that will keep the young learners’ interest. It certainly held my interest. The introduction at the beginning of the book pointed out many interesting facts about elephants. Interesting to read that elephants and humans are surprisingly similar in many ways, socially and psychologically. These first two pages provided many pieces of information, which were then portrayed in graphic format to accentuate the life of an elephant. The story follows the journey of one young elephant (Duni) as she navigates growing up and learning about herself and her family…all the while in a manner that any reader can relate to. With respect to the graphics, they were instructional, detailed, and at times very funny. I loved the female elephants being portrayed as working and playing together, I had a little giggle when there was an explanation where the female elephants work together looking after the calves where the picture showed one of the females taking a picture with a cell phone – it had me chuckling.”
