This book is an excellent resource for the classroomteacher of upper elementary students. Not only are therenumerous interesting & little known facts about the varioustypes of Mammoths, but one of the participants in the recentZarkov excavation shares every facet of the two-yearexpedition to unearth a Mammoth that has been preserved for23,000 years! The photos in this book are excellent, and itserves as a companion to the Discovery video "Raising theMammoth." My fifth graders actually loved this documentary,and were delighted that the book includes much of the sameinformation along with bits of trivia about these mysteriouscreatures. My students are constantly passing this bookaround to share with each other. This is AMAZING because theydon't like to read! I highly recommend this book for itseducational value. You won't be disappointed!
Engaging Reading

During the summer of 1997 a young boy discovered mammoth tusks sticking out of the tundra in Siberia. This book documents the efforts of a team of scientists from around the world to remove the mammoth from the permafrost. Information about the behavior, migration, and extinction of mammoths is included. Photographs from the expedition, diagrams, and maps round out the text. The text also raises the question of whether or not it would be ethical to clone mammoths if it became scientifically possible. The ultimate answer is left to the student. This book would be a great addition to any middle school library.
