By Suzi Eszterhas (Frances Lincoln, hardback, £11.99)

Follow an elephant calf from its birth on the African grasslands to adulthood, photographed close-up in the wild by award-winning photographer Suzi Eszterhas. See the cubs exploring, tumbling, splashing in water and play-fighting, until at two years old, when they are fully grown, they are ready to go it alone and seek out their own patch of territory.

Also available is Elephant, in which Suzi Eszterhas tracks an elephant calf from birth to adulthood when it starts to play a part in the life of the herd and is ready to have a calf of its own.
