Beautiful, majestic elephants are probably the most easily recognizable animal on the planet. African bush elephants are critically important to their habitat. Many other species on the savanna—from small rodents all the way to apex predators—depend on their actions to maintain their shared habitat. Unfortunately, elephants are endangered. This book introduced kids to the concept of keystone species and explains why so much depends on the continued survival of African bush elephants. Beautiful full color photos depict life on the savanna and interesting fact boxes break down big concepts. The vocabulary is carefully chosen for young learners.
