You won’t think your child saying, “Mommy, you’re my woolly mammoth” is a compliment, until you read How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth by Michelle Robinson and illustrated by Kate Hindley.
We laughed through this 10 Step instructional book. I appreciated the clever use of an umbrella in Step 6. ML guffawed at Step 8. It involved a trampoline and mud. We really howled at the hairstyles in Fig. 1 – Fig. 8; reaching a unanimous decision. “Bubble Bliss” is the most attractive hairstyle for a woolly mammoth.
The illustration on the last page spread explains why I consider, “Mommy, you’re my woolly mammoth” a compliment. It’s snuggly. Yes, I know snuggly isn’t a word. It should be.
Happy Valentine’s Day from ML and her woolly mammoth.
