This is a fascinating book about the sounds elephants use to communicate. It's written for kids (late elementary, early middle school) but is surprisingly in-depth. The format is eye-catching, but not overwhelmingly busy. My 9 year old has devoured so many nonfiction titles about elephants that by now, she's basically reading the same information over and over again. But Eavesdropping on Elephants was a totally unique angle, and she learned a lot! She cooed over the full color photographs, and especially loved the QR codes that allowed her to interact with the book.

I've read a lot of children's books about elephants, and this is the first one where I didn't feel talked down to. It's also one of the few books I can find about forest elephants! As an elephant enthusiast it was fascinating to learn about this little known species, and the QR codes/links to example videos of the elephants and their vocalizations really bring the pages to life. Highly, highly recommended!
I received a digital ARC from the publisher via Netgalley.
