Nice post up at the Booklist BOOKENDS blog.
Another opportunity to steer teachers, home schoolers, librarians, and others to the great resources up on the Lerner website: a comic activity based on the comics used by Space for Giants (formerly the Laikipia Elephant Project) in Kenya, and a Google Earth Tour, Elephant Trek, that should work on any SmartBoard and take readers on a tour around the world with links to video of scientists profiled in the book.
