Hot, Hot, Hot Book

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!

Publishers Weekly

Layton's prehistoric pair from Oscar and Arabella returns in Hot Hot Hot, as the long Ice Age winter gives way to a blisteringly unpleasant summer, when insects and rising temperatures plague them. A pair of scissors ultimately saves the overheated duo, as they shear themselves and their other hirsute pals, taking to the beach to play volleyball and lounge in the sun.
