Hot, Hot, Hot. By Neal Layton. (Hodder, ISBN: 0-340-87326-4, 9.99)
Oscar and Arabella are woolly mammoths with wiry hair who adore snow. They live in the Ice Age, and during the winter they whizz around happily in the freezing Arctic winds. But summer is a time when the new-grown plants make them sneeze and the insects send them crazy. It gets hotter and hotter and they can't find any shade. As Oscar and Arabella fan each other to keep cool, a sketchily drawn man in animal skins is shown sunbathing in the background. When the bulky mammoths jump in the lake to cool off, every drop of water is displaced, leaving an empty pool and a drenched, coughing man. The mammoths finally decide to have a haircut. This cools them down and the fad catches on.
