An Elephant in the Backyard

(3) K-3 The children of the Thai village Tha Klang grow up alongside the elephants that roam freely in their community. This lucidly written photo-essay depicts life for both elephants and people in this beautifully green, clearly low-tech region in which training the elephants has become a way for the village to survive. The crisp color photos convey both affection and respect for their subjects.
