Elephants

"Oxford Reds" is our first major super series for newly confident readers. Each book is on a real life subject, with a simple lively text and richly coloured, realistic illustrations. An elephant has only four teeth. Each tooth is as big as a brick and as rough as a cheese grater! Did you know that an elephant wears out six sets of teeth in its life time? Elephants love mud, partly because, although their skin is two centimetres thick, it burns easily in the sun. Mud is like sun cream for elephants!
