Soon — perhaps as early as 2019 — we will see the creation of the first woolly mammoth in almost 4,000 years. At least that’s what a team of Harvard researchers is hoping...

Publisher Comments

Wilfred Gordon McDonald Partridge lives next door to a nursing home in which several of his good friends reside. Of course, his favorite is Miss Nancy Alison Delacourt Cooper, because she has four names just as he does. The only problem is Miss Nancy, who is 96, has "lost" her memory. Undaunted, Wilfred sets out to "find" Miss Nancy's memory for her.

Review

"The illustration's splashy, slightly hazy watercolors in rosy pastels contrast the boy's fidgety energy with his friends' slow, careful movements and capture the story's warmth and sentiment." School Library Journal

This is an excellant story, beautifully written by Australian children's author Mem Fox. Great lessons to be learned by our friend Wilfrid Gordon McDonald Partridge about how to treat the elderly with respect and joy! There are some things that may need to be explained to American children...like what Cricket is (the sport). I smile and tear up everytime I read it. The illustrations are gorgeous as well.
