Eric's evaluation

I like this book because it has my favorite animals--woolly rhinoceros and woolly mammoth. My favorite part was when they killed the mammoth. Other kids would like this book because it is fun.
Wild and Wooly facts galore and great pics too!

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.

This book was very interesting. Our class read this together. We learned that mammoths are extinct and that hunters used their bones and furs to survive. Aliki has a lot of talent for writing and illustrating. We recommend this book and his book called "Fossils".
beautiful illustrations, clear text 2003-08-28
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.
Akiki Does It Again ! 2000-03-30
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.
