Mammoths: Giants of the Ice Age (3) (Lost Worlds)

This little book is a surprisingly complete introduction to Mammoths. It talks about the fossil finds, the things we have learned about them, where they lived, basically everything there is to know about mammoths.Although this book is probably aimed at a younger audience, it is surprisingly complete. Numerous pictures, particularily of the finds in Siberia, are included along with brief but informative text. Unfortunately I don't see the head and tusks of the Mammoth dug out of the Black Rock Desert in Northern Nevada and on display here in Winnemucca.Mammoths have gained a respect and recognition that very few extinct animals have, especially of mammals. Even their name has entered our vocabulary as a word for big. This is neither a complex nor difficult book, but is a good introduction.

Both myself and my 4 year old love anything to do with mammoths, so this didn't disappoint! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and will keep it for my daughter for when she's a bit older. Arrived on time as well.

These books were purchased with the aim of widening my gradchidrens' education.
