Just for Elephants

I absolutely love this book. I may be somewhat predjudiced as I cared for Shirley during the 90's and she is truly a precious elephant who deserves all the happiness her new surroundings have given her. I think its a great read for old and young alike and expresses in a personal way the deep love animals have for each other.

I bought this book for myself and for a couple of other people. It is a great picture book for children and also tells a very heartwarming story. Shirley was the elephant at the local zoo that I visited as a child and was my favorite animal. I was so sad to see her go, but was amazed at the story that unfolded after she relocated to the sanctuary. My son loves for me to read this story to him and visits Shirley's plaque at the zoo every time we go to "see the elephant from the book". Great picture book for the kids!!

Very touching story about 2 elephants, Shirley and Jenny who found each other after many years apart , now at the Elephant Sanctuary in TN. Awesome pictures.

Love this book. Bought it because I love elephants and because Shirley, the main elephant of focus in this book, is my adoptee from the Elephant Sanctuary. It's more than a book for children, it's for anyone who loves elephants and wants to see them treated with respect and compassion. Thanks to Carol Buckley for all her glorious efforts on behalf of elephants. Now, if we could just stop using animals in circuses, life would be great!

This is feel-good book about the elephant sanctuary in Hohenwald, TN. The pictures are great, the stories are great for elephant-lovers, but I gave it only four stars because the book is pretty short. I bought it for my wife, and she read it in about an hour. Overall, I feel good about the money going to such a good cause.
