Illustrated by
Kate Hindley.
Suited up in a raincoat and rain boots, one determined youngster guides the reader step by step through the tricky task of bathing a woolly mammoth. From filling the tub to jumping into it with him, the child demonstrates that the best plan is to be patient and flexible. Like the text, Hindley's illustrations are simple and meticulous yet laced with humorous bits.
