I Did See a Mammoth! (23)
An intrepid bunch of explorers is studying penguins in the Antarctic, but one young explorer has discovered something different. Something totally wild, spectacularly cool … and EXTINCT!
“The hilariously exasperated narrative voice in this book makes for a great read aloud, and the comical, animated illustrations make it one kids will want to read over and over again.”
-- Stories with Jojo
“[A] funny tale and one that storytellers will have a lot of fun telling—the child’s wild declarations and outraged indignation are supported by colorful and zany illustrations. Savvy educators and caregivers might see this as a humorous introduction to heavier themes of extinction, conservation, and climate change. … Delightful and fun!”
-- Kirkus Reviews
“An easy add to storytimes on cold- climate themes, scary monsters, or small, noisy creatures in general.”
-- ?Booklist
"The illustrations match the words—bold, exciting, comical, and colorful. Reading it will be fun and boisterous. Willmore fills each page with intricate detail and drama that will really engage a young audience."
