Noah discovers a mammoth in the fridge. At first, his father doesn't believe him - but the evidence is too strong. It's sitting in the fridge!

"This amusing and absurd book gains much of its humor from Maudet's action-packed pencil drawings, colored in stylish blocks of intense orange, blue, red and white." -- The New York Times (US) "This delightful picturebook chronicles the adventures of a stubborn mammoth who evades capture at every turn.
