In this larger-size 8-inch  x 11-inch easy reader book, Wally the wooly mammoth races an arctic wolf and Otto the great auk down a snow covered hill on sleds. Wolf and Otto want to win the race but Wally just wants to have fun. Soon the competitive ambitions of Wolf and Otto prove ruinous as their unmaneuverable speed sends them crashing and swallowed up by an ever-growing snowball. Wally nervously takes the lead in the race but soon “SHOOOP!” Wally is also part of the rolling snowball. In the end, all three tie for the first prize! And want to make another run down the hill!

Tabor’s text is accessible for new readers making use almost entirely of speech bubbles, much like Elephant & Piggie books. Webb’s cartoonish art complements the silliness. A fun new series for emergent readers. Ages 4-8.
