The Curious Case of the Missing Mammoth Book Cover

Recommended Age: 3+


Review: 


This was one of my son’s favorite picture books. We were fortunate enough to purchase it when it first came out and were able to grab the soft plush mammoth that came along with it. The illustrations in this book are just breathtaking and my son enjoyed opening each of the flaps to reveal new information. I was particularly pleased to find no mention of ‘billions of years’ on the dinosaur page, so this is safe for any young earth creationists with little dinosaur or science lovers! Highly recommend!

Look out! There’s a mammoth on the loose! Follow Oscar through a magical museum of curious creatures to find the mammoth before the clock strikes one! Is he munching sandwiches with Diplodocus Dave in the Dinosaur room? Or joining an aerobics class with the Extinct and Endangered Species?  

 

The Curious Case of the Missing Mammoth is a riotous adventure, packed with fascinating facts and lift-the-flap fun. With stunning illustrations from Karl James Mountford, this brilliantly interactive book brings museums to life!
