Have you herd? There's a new volume in First Second's STEM graphic novel series: Science Comics: Elephants!
Did you know elephants are the world's largest land animals? Male African elephants can reach ten feet tall and weigh up to 16,500 pounds! These endangered animals are beloved for their massive ears, thick skin, and flexible trunks, as well as their remarkable intelligence and empathy. And despite their size, the more you get to know them, the more you'll realize humans and elephants have a lot in common!

Praise for the Science Comics series: "The insight behind these books is a powerful one. So much information about the world around us is actually better conveyed visually, through charts, illustrations, and sequential panels, than purely using words." --New York Times "Like having a Time Life Science Library in comic books. Which is awesome!" --Popular Science
