July 2015, Frances Lincoln Children's Books, 32 pages, Paperback, Review copy
Content: cold and woolly facts
Summary from Mick and Brita's website
Have you ever wondered what life was like for the Woolly Mammoth? It was
very hard! These kings of the elephant race faced the harsh Ice Age
climate and the threat of natural predators - none more terrifying than
Man and his merciless spear.
Nayu's thoughts
This
is an informative and fun read on a pre-historic animal. It wasn't a
requested book, the illustrations weren't entirely my style and it's
not my most favourite animal but I'm reviewing it because I know it
will appeal to many children, and also older readers who want an
uncomplicated explanation of facts behind this ancestor of modern day
elephants. I dimly recall investigating woolly mammoths for one of my first pieces of work at secondary school - it didn't go too well as initially I resisted listening to my family on how to present it. I can't remember what happened when I handed it in! This book would have saved me back then.
Available at bookstores including NRC affiliate Foyles.
