Gretel the Wonder Mammoth: A story about overcoming anxiety
Kim Hillyard, Kim Hillyard
- WINNER of the Best Illustrated Book in the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize 2023 *
One peaceful Tuesday morning, a loud CRACK could be heard as the last mammoth on earth broke free from her icy shell – here comes Gretel the Wonder Mammoth! Everyone is so excited to meet her but as she settles into her new life, Gretel starts to feel a little overwhelmed and even a bit lonely…
This positive, encouraging picture book teaches young readers that perhaps the bravest act a person (or mammoth!) can do is ask for help.
Gretel the Wonder Mammoth is a perfect bedtime read for fans of Rob Biddulph, Rachel Bright and Jim Field.

Reviews
I didn't like this story because it said wonder mammoth instead of mammoth.
