(3) 4-6 Some bullying (and hungry) humans of Cave Skool besiege the creatures of Mammoth Academy. Luckily, mammoth Arabella's festive art project, infused with "sparklebang" (i.e., gunpowder), saves the day. Readers will anticipate the explosive outcome when comically primitive people attempt to roast the prehistoric piñata. Layton's loose, scribbly sketches effectively illustrate the story, which Oscar and Arabella's fans will surely enjoy.
