When a young mammoth goes exploring, she crashes through thin ice and is swept downstream. Woolly encounters various prehistoric animals--including humans--before returning to the security of her herd. The illustrations show almost-smiling animals and reflect rather than extend the text, which tends toward an overly cute tone. An activity and additional information are appended. Bib.

PS
A mother bear offers a simple rhyming lullaby to her cub, describing the various bears that he may meet on his journey once he's grown. The illustrations are warm and inviting, but the rhymes feel forced at times ("There are shy bears, sticky bears, / and bears feeling lazy, / white bears, / black bears, / and bears sniffing daisies"). At book's end, Gabriel presents basic facts about the eight species of bear.
