na ulicama Londona već je dovoljno hrabro samo po sebi, ali ti si bila pokretačka sila cijele ove nevjerojatne pustolovine."

I'm teaching English to a very bright 10 year old who loves Mr W's work, as do I. I'm looking forward to uses this with her. Thank you for sharing. This is where the story becomes electrifying in every way, as a Victor Frankenstein type character arrives on the scene, and the mammoth ‘…like the biggest cuddly toy in the whole wide world,’ assumes a more animated role. The book is about an ice monster who breaks through glass. It is a fiction story. I like it because it makes me want to keep reading. I would say yes to others who want to read this!When Elsie, an orphan on the streets of Victorian London, hears about the mysterious Ice Monster—a woolly mammoth found at the North Pole—she’s determined to discover more.... In this keenly awaited novel, Victorian London plays host to a perfectly frozen 10,000 year old woolly mammoth. How Elsie and the mammoth become embroiled in peril on the high seas (as well as the River Thames) makes for a gleefully daft read and a great gift for the kids in your life. My seven year old son and I absolutely loved this book. We are a fan of David Walliams books but this one was a little different as it wasn't so focused on one child, but rather a team effort to save Woolly the mammoth. It was funny, engaging, emotional and a brilliant book to share before bed.

From No. 1 bestselling children's author, David Walliams comes his biggest and most epic adventure yet! Illustrated by the artistic genius Tony Ross. David Walliams has revolutionised reading for children and has become one of the most influential children’s writers today. Since the publication of his ground-breaking first novel, The Boy in the Dress (2008), Walliams has seen unprecedented growth with global sales exceeding 45 million copies, and his books translated into 55 languages. Collectively across his titles, David has celebrated 70 weeks (non-consecutive) at number one in the overall book charts and more than 200 weeks (non-consecutive) at number one in the Children’s charts – an achievement no other children’s writer has reached.This is a classic Walliams book. Funny, energetic, and with a well-judged dollop of sentimentality. The action moves from a brilliantly depicted Victorian London, to the icy tundras of the North Pole, with a large cast of characters. Ich bin ein begeisterter Leser englischer Kinderliteratur und Roald Dahl gehört hierbei zu meinen Lieblingsautoren. Quentin Blake, der viele Bücher Dahls illustriert hat, hat mich mit seinen Illustrationen immer erfreuen können. So ist es auch bei diesem Buch. David Walliams hat mich sehr stark an Roald Dahl erinnert, während die Illustrationen von Tony Ross denen Blakes nicht unähnlich sind. Eine wundervolle Zusammenarbeit bei der dieses lesenswerte Mammut-Abenteuer entstanden ist.
