The Curious Case of the Missing Mammoth, by Ellie Hattie


Has anyone seen a mammoth around here?

Oscar is awoken at midnight, the magical hour, to find a mammoth outside his window. His name is Timothy and - oh no! - his younger brother Teddy is on the loose!

There's only one thing to do. Start the search! But can Oscar and Timothy make it through the whole museum, through the exhibits (who are throwing one wild party!) and bring Teddy home before the clock strikes one and the magical hour ends?

This is such a fantastic book - fun, imaginative and engaging. Each page takes us through another exhibit of the museum and lift-the-flap fun keeps the surprises coming. I loved the facts on every page (the ocean exhibit and flight floor are our favourites) and there's so many hidden gems that it's a great book to come back to again and again. It's also a great one to inspire a bit of exploration at your own museum.

It would make the perfect birthday present for kids three and up - and if you're quick, the book currently comes with it's own super cute Teddy mammoth softie!

Enjoy, wild explorers!
