Almost everything you want/need to know about elephants is in this book!How have elephants been used in the past? What are some of the battles they were used in? What about the Woolly Mammoth? How much do we know about this elephant?Today, how is an elephant built? Where are the softest parts of an elephants body? You might be surprised at the answer. Do you know how many muscles are in an elephant's trunk? Approx. 150,000! As humans we have two nostrils? How many does an elephant have? Have you ever thought about how much one elephant tooth weighs? The answer to this may well blow your mind! Did you know that an elephant can purr like a cat?!So many more great facts are in this book. It is a wealth of knowledge. I wouldn't recommend it for young children as there is a LOT of detail here but for kids in higher elementary all the way up through high school who have a school project to do or just want to know more about elephants, then this is a great resource.Just so you know, evolution is presented as a fact, not a theory in this book.If you are able to click on the link at the end of the book that takes you to the IP Factly website there you will find an amazing 14 videos to watch. No research to do yourself - IP has done it all for you!
