This book tells the story of the Woolly Mammoth, an animal that lived during the last Ice Age. Its long outer hair and inner layer of wool helped it withstand the bitterly cold conditions. Huge curved tusks were used to dig for food under the snow and as a powerful weapon against enemies. The Woolly Mammoth weighed up to six-and-a-half tons (six metric tons) and stood ten feet (three meters) tall.

Woolly Mammoth - Children's Literature

A large Wooly Mammoth searches for its food, as the Ice Age cold creeps over the ground. It lives during the Pleistocene epoch of the Cenozoic Era and early humans hunt its kind for survival. Details in a day of this Mammoth’s life are covered in this thirty-two page book from the “Smithsonian Prehistoric Zone” series. Each page in the book’s main body contains two to five sentences. Facts weave tightly with the imaginary tale and dispense information in a fun way. Bold, illustrations indicate exactly what a Mammoth would have looked like and also show other creatures who roamed the land during the same period.
