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 A lively non-fiction title with rhyming text and powerful illustrations. Child Education It is the sheer variety of ways of communicating all manner of interesting information that is such a strong feature of this book. Books for Keeps A very useful book, full of interesting information. Carousel Well made and produced, with lively, inviting illustrations, this book is an excellent addition to the junior school library. School Librarian  Be the first to write a customer review
