- W804033881 abstract "Reviewed by: How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth by Michelle Robinson Jeannette Hulick Robinson, Michelle. How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth; illus. by Kate Hindley. Holt, 2014. [24p]. Library ed. ISBN 978-0-8050-9966-9 $16.99 Reviewed from galleys R 5-7 yrs. “Does your woolly mammoth need a bath?” It probably does, and while the process of mammoth-washing is actually quite simple, the logistics can be tricky, as the mammoth-owning young girl in this picture book discovers. Thirsty mammoths may empty the tub as quickly as you can fill it, while luring them into the bath in the first place is quite the feat (“When all else fails, there is always cake”). Tummy scrubbing is a ticklish task and heaven forbid you get shampoo in their eyes, as that will apparently send them running amok into the yard and up a tree. Getting the runaway mammoth down involves “a very STRONG trampoline” and a lot of mud, and results in another bath—this time one in which the little girl joins in—and the last step is a satisfying “Throw in the towel and SNUGGLE!” Robinson excels at playing out an absurd premise to amusing effect (as in What to Do if an Elephant Stands on Your Foot, BCCB 9/12) and this scenario provides plenty of laughs. The art is a treat: thin, dark outlines and subtle, judicious application of color and pattern keep the bathtime action neat and tidy yet comic. The freckle-faced little girl in her mustard-colored, hooded slicker and red boots is an attractive foil for the enormous, shaggy brown mammoth. The mammoth’s small, pop eyes and darker topknot of hair beam with humor, especially when he sports various shampoo-lather [End Page 280] hairstyles. Use this to perk up a bath time storytime or pair it with What to Do if an Elephant Stands on Your Foot for an amusing “what if” story session.
