"Biographical. True story about a cowboy and an elephant he adopts - their relationship and gives good information about elephants. I enjoyed the story and look at elephants differently now.
I just noticed that Malcolm MacPherson has written another book about Afghanistan. Think I'll read it. He is a good writer/reporter. It's called Robert's Ridge."
"Another touching animal story, which I like. The elephant's name is Amy....cute name eh! I learned alot alot about elephants and want one for my Condo except I know my cat TAC would probably tear him limb from limb. This book goes along with Dewey the Library Cat and Wesley the Owl."
"This truly is a remarkable story. A baby elephant whose mother was slaughtered by poachers for ivory,shipped to America for sale as who knows what, bought out of pitty by a rancher that had been THE Marlboro Man, saved from dying, and was raised to be a friendly companion to Bob, the owner of the T Cross ranch just south of Colorado Springs gives the basis of this fascinating book. A must read to find the ending!"
