Mammoth

by Barbara Hehner

In the best-selling tradition of The Bones Book and Skeleton and The Tiny Perfect Dinosaur series comes a totally cool new series! Here's a chance for kids to trek back 100,000 years and meet the creatures that thrived when glaciers covered one third of the Earth! Book one in the series introduces the amazing wooly mammoth, a large, hairy, elephant-like beast with two great, long tusks. Just how long were those tusks? Kids can read all about woolly mammoths in the fact-packed paperback, then assemble a paleontologically correct mammoth skeleton of their own. Each book comes with a glacier-shaped plastic stand, so kids can collect and display all their favorite Ice Age animals!
