Summary
Orphaned elephants need someone to take care of them in order to survive in the wild. That's exactly what the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Nairobi Elephant Nursery does. The caring workers feed and check the health of elephant orphans, and they even cuddle them to make them feel more comfortable. Readers explore what life is like for both the animals and workers at the Nairobi Elephant Nursery, while learning new things about elephants along the way. Helpful fact boxes provide additional information, and colorful photographs of the nursery engage readers.
