About this title

Product Description:

Have you ever wondered what life was like for the Woolly Mammoth? Includes an illustrative fact strip from the very latest Mammoth discoveries.

Review:

Mike and Brita share the drawing, which is full of character and cleverly intergrated with the jaunty rhyming text text and fact panels. Told from the mammoth's viewpoint, we witness its fight for survival in the Ice Age. Yet this story, which packs an emotional puch as effective as fiction, is never unremittingly grim. There's a cheeky sense of fun and a pride in surviving such harsh conditions. Lovely use of colour too. --Glasgow Herald

Well made and produced, with lively, inviting illustrations, this book is an excellent addition to the junior school library. --School Libarian
