Illustrated by
Jon Van Zyle.
In measured, readable prose, this book recounts how a family of woolly mammoths might have spent a year near the end of the Ice Age. Led by the fifty-year-old matriarch Wise One, with a slight tinge of anthropomorphizing, the animals travel, rest, eat, play, defend themselves, and mate. Detailed illustrations are impressively textured, and an appended fact page adds data.
