This is a picture book written for early-middle elementary readers. It tells the story of two wooly mammoths who hate the Summer. One Summer it is particularly warm and dry and the mammoths decide to cut their hair to keep cool. Other animals get hair cuts too and everyone is happy because they are finally comfortable... everyone except the human, whose hair does not grow back for the winter.
This is a fun story but I probably would not read it to my class. This is because I don't think this story contains an important lesson or has particularly beautiful illustrations. The last page lists facts about the last ice age, but seems sort of out of place since the story was not realistic at all and does not contain any representation of these facts in the story.
