If I were still an elementary school teacher, I would read this book to introduce a unit on endangered species, and then include geography lessons around the world where elephants live, as well as bring in music, art and science.

I'm writing this review for all 3 of the books at once as they all tie together. The book has some pictures, but is not each page a picture. It would work well for an early reader, but I think it would be best done as a parent reading to a child, using these books as a introduction to what is going on in the world today, prompting discussion, and by using a story told in a way that is easy for a child to relate to. At the back of books 2 & 3 are actions that children can take (with parental support) to be involved in helping these animals. What a great way to introduce kids to the idea that they can make a difference in this world!</div><div class="elementor-testimonial-meta"><div class="elementor-testimonial-meta-inner"><div class="elementor-testimonial-details"> <a class="elementor-testimonial-name" href="https://www.amazon.com/Dolphins-Distress-School-Animal-Adventure/dp/1694937003/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1GPEOUDQ7CUKO&keywords=burt+kempner&qid=1572632276&sprefix=burt+ke%2Caps%2C144&sr=8-2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Josie</a></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-96457eb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="96457eb" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"><div class="elementor-widget-container"><p>Dolphins in Distress – October 27, 2019</p></div></div></div></div><div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-510c801" data-id="510c801" data-element_type="column" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"><div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-09706e6 elementor-star-rating--align-center elementor--star-style-star_fontawesome elementor-widget elementor-widget-star-rating" data-id="09706e6" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="star-rating.default"><div class="elementor-widget-container"><div class="elementor-star-rating__wrapper"><div class="elementor-star-rating" title="5/5" itemtype="http://schema.org/Rating" itemscope="" itemprop="reviewRating"><i class="elementor-star-full"></i><i class="elementor-star-full"></i><i class="elementor-star-full"></i><i class="elementor-star-full"></i><i class="elementor-star-full"></i> <span itemprop="ratingValue" class="elementor-screen-only">5/5</span></div></div></div></div><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-4e804e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="4e804e2" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"><div class="elementor-widget-container"><h3 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Five-Fierce-Tigers-Rosa-Martinez/dp/1535605006/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=5+fierce+tigers&qid=1589280224&sr=8-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Aiden now has his own tigers...they're cousins to Rosa's.</a></h3></div></div><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-54561e2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-testimonial" data-id="54561e2" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="testimonial.default"><div class="elementor-widget-container"><div class="elementor-testimonial-wrapper"><div class="elementor-testimonial-content">“Some time ago I bought your book about Rosa and the Tigers.
