Clara the Rhino

By Katrin Hirt

Book Overview

Based on the true story and friendship between an orphaned rhino and a sea captain in the mid-18th century.

When a baby rhino is orphaned in India with nowhere to go, a gentle sea captain from Holland--Douwe van der Meer--decides to take her to Europe with him. Clara wins the hearts of everyone--from villagers to princes, kings, and queens who have never seen a rhino before. All are delighted by the gentle giant--whose image soon appears on posters, coins, and statuettes, until the fine day when the Dutch Captain gives Clara her a home of her own.
