Mammoths on the Move, by Lisa Wheeler

Extinct for thousands of years, the woolly mammoths presented here in a rhyming text and superb oversized scratchboard and watercolor illustrations will re-ignite the imaginations of young listeners. The rhyming text is a unique way to present factual information and will lend itself well to read aloud and sharing with a group. The illustrations appropriately shaggy in texture and often capturing only part of the huge animal are what really work to bring the subject close up.

Grades 1-4
