Wally Mammoth: The Sled Race (25)
Wolf wants to win the sled race. He loves winning. Otto wants to win, too. Wally Mammoth is . . . not so sure. A giggle-inducing, POB hardcover picture book about friendship that is perfect for emerging readers by the multiple Geisel Award–winning Corey R. Tabor and illustrator Dalton Webb. For fans of Mo Willems and Ben Clanton.
Wally Mammoth lives in the Ice Age, where his huge heart warms even the coldest of days. And it has to be cold to have a sled race! Wally and his friends Otto the great auk and Wolf the (you guessed it!) gray wolf are all hot cocoa-ed up and ready to compete. Otto and Wolf both really want to win, but sweet Wally is happy as long as everyone has fun.
Naturally, the competition goes downhill quickly. If the three friends careen toward the finish line in a giant snowball, how will they determine 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place? It doesn’t matter—there will be cupcakes for everyone regardless.
Wally Mammoth: The Sled Race is the first installment in a vibrant, laugh-out-loud, comic-inspired series about a group of unforgettable friends—created by friends themselves, illustrator Dalton Webb and the Geisel Award–winning author Corey R. Tabor. These unjacketed, lower priced, paper-over-board picture books make reading fun and are a perfect choice for emerging readers, for developing visual literacy, and for sharing together.

Kirkus Reviews10/10/2025, 03:49 PM“It’s race day for a trio of Ice Age sledders, and while competition between Wolf and Otto the great auk heats up an otherwise-frigid morning, Wally Mammoth is just happy to have been invited. . . . Tabor’s text is accessible for new readers—deftly balancing narrative tension with requisite simplicity—and Wally proves a root-for-able foil to the other two competitive compatriots. Webb’s art appealingly complements the silliness of the trio’s plight, rendering characters with a delightful cartoonish expressiveness. Frothy fun.”

Publishers Weekly10/10/2025, 03:49 PM“Loose, sketchlike digital illustrations with icy-hued fill-ins create a playful, unintimidating atmosphere that welcomes readers into the escalating slapstick action, while speech bubbles remain accessible without sacrificing a single comic beat. Everyone wins in the end—including readers, who will enjoy the light balance of funny friendship story and exhilarating sled ride, plus a promise of further adventures.”
