Review

Orq wants a woolly mammoth for a pet but his mother has lots of reasons why he cannot have one. Until the day that "Woma"? saves his life. Then his mother changes her mind, somewhat. The illustrations are muted, large and engaging and have the flavor of "caveman"? days. I have not seen many children's books set in this time period. I think parents and children would really enjoy this book and that may spark discussion about this period in history. Recommend.

Overall Book Score: very good
