Mammoth Academy: Mammoth Academy On Holiday

Description

Stinking, rubbish-infested rivers to swim in, nature walks minus the nature and Giant Sloth cooking dinner. This can only mean one terrible thing for the Academy students on their school trip. Humans are about! And now Oscar's gone missing. Professor Snout and the other students are about to embark on a rescue mission which goes swimmingly!

Short pacey chapters... provide lots of Pythonesque laugh-out-loud humour. -- School Librarian 20070501 They will surely agree with Professor Snout's review: "This book gets 10/10"! -- School Librarian 20070501 As funny as ever with quirky and delightful illustrations. -- Betty Bookmark 20070501
