"Flying Mammoth is THE finest way to travel!"
Book Description
A little boy loves to make things, but they never turn out right. So he decides to buy an aeroplane kit: with instructions and everything, what could possibly go wrong? But instead of an aeroplane he ends up with a very big, very hairy, real-life mammoth that can FLY! So begins an amazing, breath-taking adventure to the Arctic and back . . . and this little boy finally begins to appreciate his talent for making the wrong thing! A joyful celebration of the creative impulse and the power of the imagination -- wherever it may lead!

A great fun story about the fun of making quite different things from those you set out to make.
2 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback
This is a cracking book about a little boy who likes to make things but they never turn out how he planned. Every time he sets out to build one thing it turns into something quite different. My boys (3&6) think it's very funny so see the various things the little boy ends up with, particularly the end result of his bi-plane kit: a woolly mammoth. With the mammoth, the boy flies to the Arctic and attempts to create a graceful ice sculpture. Obviously it doesn't turn out as planned and there's more laughs for the reader. With the many new friends that the boy is collecting, he doesn't mind if his many attempts at crafts and kits turn into different things entirely. They are all part of a rich adventure, and we are left watching him build an ocean-going liner .... which ends up taking them all on an outer-space adventure. This is a great find, a brilliant story that'll make your children laugh and has a lovely message for those whose creations never turn out like the pictures in the book.

Another wonder book by Joel Stewart
21 Oct 2007
Format:Paperback
After reading "Dexter Bexley and the Big Blue Beastie", we wanted to find everything we could by Joel Stewart. This book was no disappointment. Stewart's stories and illustrations really draw my children into the magic of the story, as if they are in the moment themselves.
