Best Laugh Out Loud Picture Book
THE FUNNIEST PICTURE BOOK OF THE YEAR!
Welcome to the Antarctic, where an intrepid bunch of explorers is making an in-depth study of penguins. Penguins. Penguins. Penguins. So many penguins …
But one young explorer has discovered something different. Something totally wild, spectacularly cool and quite a lot … EXTINCT.
Alex Willmore’s hilariously funny picture book brings the prehistoric woolly mammoth dancing, swimming and SKATEBOARDING back to life. But will anyone believe it?
Would YOU?!

Praise for I Did See a Mammoth:
‘A wintery spin on ‘The Boy Who Cried Wolf’ … Expressive illustrations, clever twist, and increasing frustration of the protagonist make this a laugh-out-loud read for young readers.’ - CLPE

‘A book to share, to giggle at and to have some great adventures with!’ – Armadillo Magazine
‘[An] irresistible shoutalong picture book’ – Big Issue North
