Description

Noah discovers a mammoth in the fridge. At first, his father doesn't believe him - but the evidence is too strong. It's sitting in the fridge! They call the fire department, but the mammoth slips past their net and hides in a tree. But where did the mammoth come from? Only Noah's little sister knows the true answer...

Reviews

"This amusing and absurd book gains much of its humor from Maudet's action-packed pencil drawings, colored in stylish blocks of intense orange, blue, red and white." -- The New York Times (US) "This delightful picturebook chronicles the adventures of a stubborn mammoth who evades capture at every turn. Simple and expressive drawings lend an immediacy and mobility to the illustrations... The last page is a surreal delight, and immensely satisfying." -- Inis - The Children's Books Ireland Magazine (UK) "A surprise revelation will leave readers smiling." -- The Weekend Sun (AU) "This amusing and absurd book gains much of its humor from Maudet's action-packed pencil drawings, colored in stylish blocks of intense orange, blue, red and white." -- The New York Times (US) "This delightful picturebook chronicles the adventures of a stubborn mammoth who evades capture at every turn.
