Neal Layton, Mammoth Academy

Hodder, 9780340930298 | Suggested age range: 6-7

Woolly mammoths, like everyone else, have to go to school. Oscar and Arabella get letters from The Mammoth Academy telling them what they need to bring when they start. Nervously they begin their schooldays with Owl, Prunella, Fox and Cave Cat under the watchful eye of a stern headmistress. Familiar school incidents are made fresh and original in this Ice Age variant. Some wonderfully hairy creatures are entertainingly shown in the accompanying illustrations.
