When South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony was asked to accept a herd of "rogue" wild elephants on his Thula Thula game reserve in Zululand, his common sense told him to refuse. But he was the herd's last chance of survival: they would be killed if he wouldn't take them.

In order to save their lives, Anthony took them in. In the years that followed he became a part of their family. And as he battled to create a bond with the elephants, he came to realize that they had a great deal to teach him about life, loyalty, and freedom.

The Elephant Whisperer (Young Readers Adaptation) is a heartwarming, exciting, funny, and sometimes sad account of Anthony's experiences with these huge yet sympathetic creatures. Set against the background of life on an African game reserve, with unforgettable characters and exotic wildlife, it is a delightful book that will appeal to animal lovers and adventurous souls everywhere.

This story, and narrator made me feel like I was right there. I could feel the bond between the Elephants and the man grow. I can see in my mines eye Nanna with her trunk touching the guys chest and head.
I was really pulled in by the Narrator he made you feel as if you were there with his accent and his description of scenes from the stopping of the elephants feet the flapping of their ears he gave you an emotional ride with the elephants. This is a great book for young and old.

I Love It
