The Elephant Book: For the Elefriends Campaign

Ian Redmond. Candlewick Press (MA), $17.99 (48pp) ISBN 978-0-7636-1634-2

Biologist Ian Redmond pays tribute to the pachyderm in The Elephant Book, with breathtaking photos of the African landscape. Divided into sections such as ""The Architect of Africa,"" ""Trunks and Tusks"" and ""Peaceful Coexistence,"" and peppered with quotes from the likes of David Attenborough and Jane Goodall, the book seeks to stop the ivory trade and eliminate poaching. Half the royalties go to the Elefriends Campaign, an elephant protection group based in London. ( Sept.)
