Wild and Woolly Mammoths : Revised Edition

Rating:
Summary: Akiki Does It Again !
Review: As an elementary school teacher, I am always on the "look out" for books that will enthrall my students. Aliki never disappoints. Wild and Wooly Mammoths is an intersting and enjoyable book. My students loved the beautiful illustrations and the easy to read format. The book is packed with fascinating facts and details. My students looked forward to reading time and asked to read other books by Aliki. We bought class sets of Mummies Made in Egypt and also The Medieval Feast. Children simply love these books and the wonderful illustrations. All my students voted Wild and Wooly Mammoths as a class favorite. I recommend this book for all elementary students.

Summary: beautiful illustrations, clear text
Review: This book encompasses man as hunter, diversity of species, extinction, scientific inquiry --while being firmly grounded and tangible. The phrases are broken up on the page the same way that I pace the story when I read aloud. The explanations and transitions are clear and logical (except the second page which abruptly mentions the dinosaurs and then bounces back to the Ice Age again.) Wonderful book for curious minds.
