ECHO of the ELEPHANTS

In preparation for my upcoming trip to The Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee to take photos for an article that I'm writing about these incredible animals, I purchased this book and others by Cynthia Moss. This one will help to make people aware that elephants were not created for human entertainment. The rich among us saw them as the path to greater wealth, and left dead and abused elephants in their wake. The readers of this wonderful book will see elephants as the sensitive, caring, creatures that they are and always have been. We humans could learn much from reading how they bond together and watch over their young and each other. After reading this book, I hope many do as I did. Toss a check in the mail. These people who are helping these elephants are often doing without, to better serve a cause that they're very dedicated to. The many terrific color pictures made this book come alive.

An excellent summary of Echo and her family. Ely is great.

I have fallen in love with Echo and the EB family. Ely's traumatic first days are unforgettable. I couldn't wait for The Next Generation to come out. I have definitely become an elephant fan.
