In this off-the-wall book, woolly mammoths Oscar and Arabella love the Ice Age's long winter months, but suffer when summer rolls around. "There was only one solution. They would have to give each other a haircut!" No one will mistake this ditty for an informational book: the lighthearted tone is set right away and sustained throughout, and the unrestrained illustrations suit the story admirably.
