Tarra is the first resident of The Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee where elephants live freely in the nature. When other elephants has found their special friend there, Tarra never found hers.

Until she meet Bella, a stray dog that live in the sanctuary. They become inseparable friends despite of species differences, who understand each other language and have to meet every day.

Unlike most books, this book consists of real photography as its pictures, not illustrations. Moreover, its true life story is extraordinary touching, also entertaining.

Sabio is very excited to read Tarra & Bella. He can't hardly wait. Maybe because of its animal theme and real photos. He also very focus listening to mom, when she read it out loud for him. He carefully pay attention to each photos.


Tarra adalah penduduk pertama The Elephant Sanctuary di Tennessee di mana gajah hidup bebas di alam. Ketika gajah lain telah menemukan teman istimewa mereka di sana, Tarra tidak pernah menemukan miliknya.

Sampai dia bertemu Bella, seekor anjing liar yang hidup di cagar alam. Mereka menjadi teman yang tidak dapat dipisahkan meskipun ada perbedaan spesies, yang saling memahami bahasa lain dan harus bertemu setiap hari.

Tidak seperti kebanyakan buku, buku ini terdiri dari fotografi nyata sebagai gambarnya, bukan ilustrasi. Apalagi kisah nyatanya sangat menyentuh, juga menghibur.

Sabio sangat senang membaca Tarra & Bella. Dia tidak sabar menunggu. Mungkin karena tema binatang dan foto aslinya. Dia juga sangat fokus mendengarkan mama, ketika mama membacakan untuknya. Dengan teliti, Sabio memperhatikan setiap foto.
