Will's Mammoth is a wonderful picture book, with a good story line. I have used this book to help children learn the writing process. In the current classroom (2nd grade)we are doing a unit on dinosaurs and I read Will's Mammoth to the children and then showed the illustrations. I had the children look close to the details of the illustrations and then they wrote discriptive sentences about the page of their choice. The students used their imagination to write their sentences and stories. You will be suprised at the outcome of any child's story within the Story of Will's Mammoth.

This book was a favorite of my four children - even my daughter. Will, in the story, spends a winter day in imaginary adventures with his woolly mammoth. It has few words and beautiful illustrations, enabling my children to 'read' the story to me. "Will's Mammoth" is the book we choose now for every young child's birthday.

My son's name is Will, and this is the only book I've been able to find about a kid with his name. The art in this book is great and I love the imagination and spirit of the boy Will! There aren't words on every page so sometimes you have to narrate yourself, but with a 3-year-old that's kind of fun because after a few times through the book, he can narrate it himself. And now he even knows what a wooly rhinoceros is, who knew?

The story is a bit scary for me. The illustrations are exquisite.

This book is great for not only kids but adults too. It is very creative and there is so much detailed art work done with colored pencils. It's a GREAT BOOK!!!!

I love this book so much I bought a second copy so I could frame some of the pictures. Stepehn Gammell is a wonderfull artist..
