Reviewed Titles Mammoths on the Move One Dark Night	Lisa Wheeler Reviews Added December 17, 2007 One Dark Night Author: Lisa Wheeler Illustrator: Ivan Bates Publisher: Voyager Books, an imprint of Harcourt, Inc. Available At: Bookstores Everywhere Publishing Date: August 2006 - reprint Genre: Children: Storybook Format: Paperback Price: $6.00 ISBN-10: 0-15-205888-5 ISBN-13: 978-0152058883 Reviewer: Safiya Tremayne Rating: 9 Gargoyles One Dark Night is one those books that never fail to bring a smile to my face, no matter how many times I read it. Ms. Wheeler's descriptions emphasize the size differences between tiny Mole and Mouse to the giant Bear, while Mr. Bates beautiful watercolours add to the emotional element. As Mouse and Mole journey through the woods, suspense grows and little (big ones, too!) readers wonder what will happen. The surprise ending will leave youngsters laughing. A keeper for the entire family! Return to top of page. Added July 6, 2006 Mammoths on the Move Author: Lisa Wheeler Illustrator: Kurt Cyrus Publisher: Harcourt Children's Books Available At: Bookstores Everywhere Publishing Date: April 2006 Genre: Children: Storybook Format: Hardback Price: $16.00 ISBN: 0-15-204700-X Reviewer: Sharyn McGinty Rating: 8 Gargoyles Fourteen thousand years ago The north was mostly ice and snow But wooly mammoths didn't care- These beasts had comfy coats of hair. With this simple rhyme, Wheeler introduces readers to the world of the wild, woolly mammoths. She covers their eating habits, migration and enemies and introduces aspects scientists hypothesize over. The rhyming lends a gentle cadence to the story heightening the gentleness of the illustrations. No garish, bright colors, but simple, quiet earth tones. The perfect book for lover of mammoths, Mammoths on the Move is also a good introduction on the subject. It will certainly inspire children to learn more about these massive creatures.
