The Elephant and the Mountain by Richard H Ffrench-Constant
Follow the elephants of East Africa as they journey from their beloved mountain home to find water in a changing world. Lyrical and moving, this beautifully illustrated tale reminds us of the fragile world we live in.
My 6 year daughter loves the bookShe read it by herself and then told me and her Mum all about the story and the challenges that the elephants face. We should do everything we can to raise awareness of environmental issues and children's stories like this are the perfect vehicle. We owe it to young people to show them the beauty and wonder of the natural world, as well as its fragility. - Ross Piper, Zoologist and Explorer;
