I rated this book a 5* rating because of the thrilling scenes that the book has in it. I espicially love the part of where the mammoth finds his family at the end of the story because it has a happy ending and also when the swat team bash open the door with a battering ram and rammed into the proffessor.

Loved this book! I like all David Walliams as his books are really funny and exciting. I thought Elsie was really brave and I want to be like her.

It was brilliant, I really want to go to London now and visit the history museum and see Buckingham palace and the Thames. I looked forward to bedtime every night Elsie, was so cool. Dotty was funny when she was talking to the queen. Titch was good too I like that he got recognised for his hard work at the end. Definitely one of my favourites this summer.

How did the wooly mammoth survive and how tough was the ice

This book was fabulous! It was all about a young girl Who finds a Woolly mammoth in a block of Ice and when the mammoth breaks free from the ice people try to kill it.

I would recommend this book to other people who like olden day animals like dinosaurs and sabertooth tigers/Ice age period.

Elise is my favourite character as she gets up to all different adventures and even hides from the queen. The best part was how meeting the queen was exactly how you should be with royalty. I loved it so much
