Summary

Elephants are smart. They can sense when another elephant needs help, and they know how to work together. Adult elephants often use teamwork to rescue a baby elephant that has become stuck in mud. This fascinating book explores how elephants live in the wild and work together to survive. Fact boxes highlight key information on each spread. Nonfiction features including a glossary and an index support the Common Core standards for early elementary instruction. Full-color photographs make this a fascinating read.
