A few pages that are quite gorey with illustrations of cavemen skinning and dismembering a woolly mammoth. I was hesitant reading this to my 3 yr old who really loves woolly mammoths. I would say 5+ yrs old.
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.
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.
I looked and looked for a book about wooly mammoths after my 4 year old grandson learned about them in preschool. He really loved this book. He told me it was very exciting! He loves informational books and this fit the bill.
We had to buy this book becuase my 1st grader kept taking it out of his school library. We have purchased several books by Aliki because not only are the pictures engaging, but the text is full of great facts in a format that kids can absorb. There is a pictoral guide to all types of mammoths and a scale to show relative size, countries of origin and when they went extinct. The book also does a good job to show the methods by which they were hunted and illustrates the tools used by ancient humans to use all the parts of the mammoth.
