A magical adventure for fans of Katherine Applegate and Jennifer Holm about a girl with a mysterious connection to the elephant who saved her life. An elephant never forgets, but Lexington Willow can't remember her past. Swept away by a tornado as a toddler, she was dropped in a nearby Nebraska zoo, where an elephant named Nyah protected her from the storm. With no trace of her family, Lex grew up at the zoo with her foster father, Roger; her best friend, Fisher; and the wind whispering in her ear. Years later, Nyah sends Lex a telepathic image of the woods outside the zoo. Soon, Lex is wrapped up in an adventure involving ghosts, lost treasure, and a puzzle that might be the key to finding her family. Can Lex summon the courage to discover who she really is--and why the tornado brought her here all those years ago?

From the time Dr. Mark Goldstein was a little boy—even before he had his first dog—he was fascinated by creatures both domestic and wild. After graduating veterinary school at Cornell University, he became a veterinarian in clinical practice, then director of zoos in Boston and Los Angeles, then head of a progressive humane society where he advocated for animal welfare. During his extraordinary 30-year career, Dr. Mark has accrued a lifetime of experiences working with all sorts of animals and the people who care for them. Dr. Mark's life with animals taught him more than how to be a great doctor, it taught him how to live life. The stories in this book reflect those lessons; they will make you laugh and cry as they entertain and amaze you. Each real-life experience sheds light on the challenges and hard work of the talented individuals who work in the world of animal welfare. These are stories that illustrate the tremendous impact animals have on our daily lives—they are hallmarks of the sacred importance of the human-animal bond. On your journey through the exhilarating life of Dr. Mark, you'll meet some of the finned, furred, and feathered animals who offered him invaluable insights—Harold the hamster, Sasha the Siberian tiger, St. Francis the German Shepherd, Ralph the buffalo, Gus the stallion, Frank the goldfish, and many more fascinating creatures!
'Once Upon an Elephant' began as an idea in 1956. I played around with the story until I came up with an unlikely hero, a pretty princess, a scoundrel and an elephant. It is a story that is told in easy rhyming form that kids seem to love. It is a story about an unlikely hero who is not accepted in the regular circle of knights because he is a little too chubby. It is filled with 32 pages of wonderful graphics by Suzanne that certainly add to the book's basc concept. It's the same concept that I used in my days as a free lance cartoonist. I would make up scenarios and then would come up with the finished cartoon. The difference, this time, was that I was thinking of a story line for my children since they loved the stories that I made up for them at bedtime. The story became side tracked as I began working as a teacher in the Wayne NJ schools system. In 1957, I found the story in my files and decided to re-write the story in rhyme. I worked it out and put it out of my mind until I drew up the complete story in book form for my daughter Janet in 1970. She loved the it and, afterwards, was again put aside until recently .. ... .My son Robert found the old booklet and I put it on the computer, cleaned up the drawings and made up books for each of my two young grand children and two great grandchildren as Christmas gifts. I didn't give it much thought until I saw that they all liked the story and I was encouraged to try for publication. That's when my grand daughter Suzanne came to my rescue and said she would love to collaborate with me on the book and illustrate the story. How could I refuse? Suzanne is an accomplished artist with a BFA degree and works as an animator for United Space Alliance doing animations for the Kennedy Space Center. After a few meetings, we agreed on the format and put the story together in a style that pleased us both and this is what turned out. We hope that everyone enjoys the story as much as we do.
A beautifully illustrated celebration of bounty and gratitude, family and friendship, perfect for the holidays and every day. This is the table that Grandad built. These are the sunflowers picked by my cousins, set on the table that Grandad built. In a unique take on the cumulative classic “This Is the House That Jack Built,” a family gathers with friends and neighbors to share a meal around a table that brims with associations: napkins sewn by Mom, glasses from Mom and Dad’s wedding, silverware gifted to Dad by his grandma long ago. Not to mention the squash from the garden, the bread baked by Gran, and the pies made by the young narrator (with a little help). Serving up a diverse array of dishes and faces, this warm and welcoming story is poised to become a savored part of Thanksgiving traditions to come.
Daphne Sheldrick's best-selling love story of romance, life and elephants, An African Love Story: Love, Life and Elephants is an incredible story from Africa's greatest living conservationist. A typical day for Daphne involves rescuing baby elephants from poachers; finding homes for orphan elephants, all the while campaigning the ever-present threat of poaching for the ivory trade. An African Love Story is the incredible memoir of her life. It tells two stories - one is the extraordinary love story which blossomed when Daphne fell head over heels with Tsavo Game Park and its famous warden, David Sheldrick. The second is the love story of how Daphne and David, who devoted their lives to saving elephant orphans, at first losing every infant under the age of two until Daphne at last managed to devise the first-ever milk formula which would keep them alive. 'Compulsively readable', Mail on Sunday 'An enchanting memoir', Telegraph Daphne Sheldrick has spent her entire life in Kenya.
