Title:
ELEPHANTS CAN PAINT TOO!
Author:
Katya Arnold
Publisher:
Anne Schwartz Books/Atheneum Books for Young Readers

For years, Katya Arnold has been teaching art to children in New York and to Asian elephants in Thailand. Some elephants draw abstract swirls of various colors, some actually paint trees and flowers, but almost all of them learn the joy of creating original artwork.

It is this incredible story that Ms. Arnold tells in simple language accompanied by fascinating photographs as well as artwork created by her students⎯both human and elephant. Although the text is aimed at children ages 3-7, kids of all ages will love following these wonderful animals from their first art lesson to the creation of their stunning, original paintings.

Available online.

Although written for elementary grades 3 through 5, "Elephant Hospital" is not just for children. It is a short and absorbing introduction to Thailand's Asian elephants and the people who are working to save them. The plight of sick elephants in Thailand resulted in the establishment of the world's first elephant hospital in 1994. Case histories, supported by full-color photographs, put readers on the scene as workers help with a birth, care for a baby with a broken leg, and heal an elephant who had been wounded and addicted to drugs by her log-poaching owners.
