Book Reviews of Just for Elephants
Book Review: Love this book---brings back great memories
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this book for myself and for a couple of other people. It is a great picture book for children and also tells a very heartwarming story.
Shirley was the elephant at the local zoo that I visited as a child and was my favorite animal. I was so sad to see her go, but was amazed at the story that unfolded after she relocated to the sanctuary.
My son loves for me to read this story to him and visits Shirley's plaque at the zoo every time we go to "see the elephant from the book".
Great picture book for the kids!!
Summary of Just for Elephants
Most elephants in America live in circuses and zoos, and their lives are very different from what they would be in the wild. But there's a very special place in Tennessee called the Elephant Sanctuary, where elephants can finally have the freedom to roam and have elephant friends. Why do elephants come to the Elephant Sanctuary, and what is their everyday life like there? Some are like Shirley, who performed in a circus before an injury forced early retirement and a transfer to a zoo. She lived at the zoo for many years and received good care, but she didn't have elephant friends. Then plans were made for Shirley to move to the Elephant Sanctuary, a place just for elephants. It was a big surprise to everyone when Shirley recognized another elephant when she arrived?they greeted each other with great excitement and joy and lots of trumpeting. Jenny had been a baby elephant at the circus where Shirley had worked so long ago. (Elephants do remember!) Shirley and Jenny spent that first night standing close, with their trunks wrapped around each other. And in the morning, Jenny led Shirley outside to explore the fields and ponds and woods and meet all the other elephants. Now Shirley has a special family, in a place just for elephants.Elephants Books
