Mammoth Pie    by Jeanne Willis & Tony Ross Order:  USA  Can Andersen, 2008 (2008) Hardcover      Reviewed by Hilary Williamson As Jeanne Willis's story begins, it looks like a Little Red Hen lesson in caveman cooperation, as thin Og spies a fat mammoth on a mountaintop and enlists Ug, Gog, Bog, Nog, and finally Mog to help him make a Mammoth Pie. As they pull together everything required to trap and cook a mammoth, they sing their song: 'We're fed up with eating weeds! / No more weeds! No more seeds! / Meat is what a caveman needs! / Meat is what a caveman needs!' But the 'mammoth thought, "I'd like to see them try!"' and he had good reason, which reveals itself in a riotous ending - made even more so by Tony Ross's goofy illustrations - that will have kids cheering and demanding a re-read. Mammoth Pie is monumental fun. Note: Opinions expressed in reviews and articles on this site are those of the author(s) and not necessarily those of BookLoons.
