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.

En gång i tiden fanns det 300 arter men bara 2 har överlevt till idag. Elefanten är en vacker bilderbok, fylld med fakta, om ett fascinerande djur.Elefanten, världens största, landlevande djur, är väldigt fascinerande för oss människor. En elefant kan väga så mycket som sju ton och äta över 300kg frukt och växter om dagen. Den lever i Asien och Afrika, i regnskogen, eller på savannen. Elefantens fötter fungerar som en hörapparat och kan ta upp vibrationer från marken från så långt som en mil bort. Precis som en människa kan vara högerhänt eller vänsterhänt kan en elefant vara höger eller vänsterbetad! Trots sin stora kropp är elefanten både smidig och känslig. Den kan till och med känna om en liten mygga landar på dess rygg. Med fantastiskt vackra och detaljerade illustrationer skildrar Jenni Desmond elefantens liv och boendemiljö. Ett djur som funnits i 55 miljoner år! 2016 listades hennes bok Isbjörnen som en av årets bästa illustrerade barnböcker i New York Times och nu kommer den efterlängtade Elefanten, i samma stil.

Isbjörnen, detta enorma, vackra och vilda djur som väcker vår nyfikenhet. Isbjörnen har 42 långa vassa tänder, en blåsvart tunga och dålig andedräkt. Den lever på iskalla Arktis och håller sig varm tack vare sin tjocka päls och ett tjockt lager med fett som skyddar den mot kyla. Med tassar lika stora som tallrikar tar den sig enkelt fram i vatten och på havsisen där den spanar efter sälar att äta. För att överleva måste en isbjörn äta 40 sälar om året. I en fascinerande bilderbok med inslag av fakta får vi en oemotståndlig presentation av isbjörnen och landskapet där den lever. Boken fångar på ett poetiskt sätt känslan och atmosfären av den arktiska miljön och isbjörnens hårda tillvaro.
