All our books today featured mammoths. \u00a0First, an animal enthusiast took us through the steps of mammoth pet care in\u00a0<\/a>How to Wash a Woolly<\/a><\/span> Mammoth<\/a>\u00a0by Michelle Robinson, illustrated by Kate Hindley. \u00a0TIP: \u00a0Make sure not to get soap in its eyes. \u00a0Mammoths hate that. \u00a0Next, when a caveboy is hungry, and both his mom and dad are busy, it’s up to him to find something to eat, in Me\u00a0Hungry!<\/span><\/a>\u00a0In A Mammoth in the Fridg<\/a>e\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0by Micha\u00ebl Escoffier and illustrated by Matthieu Maudet,\u00a0a family is startled when they find exactly what the title describes — well, most of the family is surprised anyway.<\/p>\n

Flannelboard Story<\/h2>\n

The Mammoths in the Ice Age
\n\"Mammoths<\/a>
\n(to tune of: \u201cThe Wheels on the Bus\u201d)<\/em><\/p>\n

The mammoths in the Ice Age went
\ntrumpet, trumpet, trumpet,
\ntrumpet, trumpet, trumpet,
\ntrumpet, trumpet, trumpet.
\nThe mammoths in the ice age went
\ntrumpet, trumpet, trumpet,
\nAll around the land.<\/p>\n

Other verses:<\/em>
\nThe saber tooth tiger in the Ice Age went growl, growl, growl\u2026
\nThe ground sloth in the Ice Age moved slow, slow, slow\u2026
\nThe camel in the Ice Age went spit, spit, spit\u2026
\nThe dire wolf in the Ice Age went howl, howl, howl\u2026
\nThe man in the Ice Age said big, big, big\u2026<\/p>\n

The Mastodon<\/strong><\/p>\n

The mastodon goes like this and that (walk heavily from side to side<\/em>).
\n<\/em>He\u2019s terribly big\u00a0(hold hands out to side)
\n<\/em>And he\u2019s terrible fat (bring hands around to make circle around tummy<\/em>).
\n<\/i>He had no fingers\u00a0(wiggle fingers).
\n<\/em>He had no toes\u00a0(wiggle toes).
\n<\/em>But goodness gracious \u2014 what a nose!\u00a0(Make a trunk with arm).<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Movie We Watched<\/h2>\n

Just like animals of the Ice Age, dinosaurs are extinct. \u00a0Today we watched the story of one who didn’t know this: “Edwina, the Dinosaur Who Didn’t Know She was Extinct”<\/a>. \u00a0This is based on the book of the same name by Mo Willems.
