Bookroo's summary

Oscar and Arabella, two playful mammoths, revel in icy fun until the Ice Age winter melts away. As the heat rises, plants irritate their eyes, and insects swarm, their misery grows. Desperate for relief, they hatch a daring plan to beat the heat. Will their wild idea bring cool comfort or lead to more chaos? Join this shaggy duo on a hilarious quest to conquer the hottest summer ever!

From the publisher

Looking for an escape from the heat? Kids will laugh out loud at the lively illustrations in Neal Layton’s tale of two fun-loving, enterprising mammoths. For wild and woolly mammoths like Oscar and Arabella, playing in the ice and snow and arctic winds of an Ice Age winter is the coolest fun. But when the snow starts to melt, and thousands of brightly colored plants sprout up and irritate their eyes, and insects are swarming, and it just gets hotter and hotter and hotter, it seems there’s no end to their misery. Then one day, the shaggy pair comes up with a bright idea. It may be a close shave, but it looks like they’ve finally found a way to enjoy the hottest summer ever!
