Books with title The Birthday Elephant

In this, Jenni Desmond’s third nonfiction children’s book about one of the large, endangered animals of Earth, we join a young boy as he learns about The Elephant. From Africa to Asia, the elephant makes its home. Light on their feet, despite their great weight, these magnificent creatures appear light and graceful because they’re always walking on their tip-toes. They have excellent hearing and can detect the rumblings of other elephants from six miles away. And, just like humans being right handed or left handed, elephants can be right tusked or left tusked! The recipient of the 2016 New York Times Best Illustrated award for her book The Polar Bear, Desmond creates illustrations that are scientifically accurate, strikingly detailed, and beautifully rendered in collage, paint, and colored pencil.

The elephant was not like other elephants. Instead of splashing water with his trunk he wanted to sit in chairs, ride bicycles, and sail in boats. The only problem was he was an elephant and could not fit. That is until he saw a boy on a bicycle leaving behind a tremendous trail of dust. The Birthday Elephant is the third picture book from Walter Williams, author of The Bicycle Garden and A Monster for Tea. Ages 3-8, Hardcover, Color, 38 pages
