The charm of this children's book lies in its original storyline
which successfully encompasses folklore, science, natural history
and geography. As the baby mammoth develops, the author raises
issues concerning parenting and what a child needs to make its way
through life, through the male and female perspectives of its young
creators, Boris and Veronica. Menik, by default, finds himself
facing the world alone and we learn how he copes with danger and
struggles, as a displaced being, against ingrained prejudice and
people's fear of the unfamiliar. But there are also glimpses of
human kindness and generosity of spirit which eventually, win the
day. Beautifully illustrated, this little book is likely to become
a favourite bedtime story and one to which children will return
again and again.
