Mammoth

Nicely written and superbly illustrated by Patrick O'Brien, Mammoth is an entertaining and educational picture book filled from cover to cover with scientific facts about the mammoth, one of the largest creatures that ever lived, and an animal that died out around ten thousand years ago with the end of the Ice Age. Astutely illustrated in full color, and replete with information on what mammoths ate, how they lived, and how their fossilized remains have been discovered today, Mammoth is strongly recommended for school and community libraries as being an excellent and "reader friendly" introduction for children into the fascinating study of prehistoric animals.
