If Jane wasn't known for her loving care and dedication to her chimpanzees you could put the same thought on her elephants. With loving care and dedication she introduces you into an elephant herd while not choosing one elephant baby or another but instead bring the whole group into your heart.

What touched me the most was the oldest elephant that she knew. Although at first he didn't look that old to me it just touched me how the others cared for him instead of just allowing Nature take her course. It is with these emotions that are invoked that Jane tells her young readers how much we share with even the giants of our planet. ( )
