How To Be a Great Elephant follows the story of EQ—a little elephant who wants to make a big impact on the world. After looking at all the ways that others become GREAT, EQ gets an idea. Inventing a flying suit will surely do the trick. There is only one problem: EQ has to help out his friend Frankie, the flamingo. It means that working on being great has to be put on hold. But as EQ and Frankie work towards building a flying suit together, the two talk about their goals, share their feelings, and resolve their differences cooperatively. In the end, both discover “greatness” isn’t always about who’s the smartest, the fastest, or even the strongest. It’s the emotional intelligence qualities of empathy, understanding, and honouring each other that makes a great elephant (and a great flamingo) after all! How To Be a Great Elephant teaches children the major components of emotional intelligence: - Self-perception - Self-expression - Interpersonal relationships - Decision making - Stress tolerance

"Once I started this incomparable story, I couldn't put it down, and I cannot get it out of my mind—nor will I ever. The message of what can be accomplished by training through affection and joy will thrill all animal lovers." —Betty White A captivating true story of loyalty, friendship, and high adventure that spans several decades and three continents, Modoc is one of the most remarkable true stories ever told, perfect for fans of The Zookeeper's Wife or Water for Elephants. Raised together in a small German circus town, a boy and an elephant formed a bond that would last their entire lives, and would be tested time and again: through a near-fatal shipwreck in the Indian Ocean, an apprenticeship with the legendary Mahout elephant trainers in the Indian teak forests, and their eventual rise to circus stardom in 1940s New York City. As the African Sun-Times put it, Modoc is "heartwarming. . . probably the greatest love story ever told."
