A brave little mammal stands up to gigantic monsters in prehistoric times in Little Mo and the Great Snow Monster, by Michael Foreman.
Internationally renowned children’s book illustrator Michael Foreman lends his compelling storytelling style to the tale of the world’s first mammal: Little Mo.
Little Mo lives with his father and mother in a cave during prehistoric times. Everything is new to him―snow, ice, and most frightening of all, dinosaurs! When a pack of triceratops decide to make Little Mo’s cave their home, Mo has to muster all his courage to scare them away. —Synopsis provided by Thames & Hudson
In Little Mo and the Great Snow Monster author/illustrator Michael Foreman adds a magical twist to prehistoric times. At first, the book appears to just be the tale of courage and standing up to larger foes, but the final spread also gives some basic information on prehistoric evolution.
