The Emperor's Egg: Big Book
Martin Jenkins, a conservation biologist, is the author of several nonfiction books for children. He says, I first saw wild elephants in the Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya, where a big family of them was making their way across the savanna. I ve seen elephants lots of times since then, but I ll never forget that first family, strolling across the plains without a care in the world - that was magic.
Ivan Bates has illustrated many books for children. He says of GRANDMA ELEPHANT'S IN CHARGE, I have always found elephants to be fascinating creatures, capable of both extreme strength and tenderness. This, along with their mighty stature and a wonderful setting amid vast land- and skyscapes, makes them a joy to draw.
