10 | !! This book provides examples of: |
11 | |
12 | * ABoyAndHisX: The story is called, ''Mik's Mammoth'' for a reason, for the story is largely about Mik taking care of a lost baby mammoth and later uses to save his tribe. |
13 | * AnAesop: The last page provides us with this: |
14 | -->The moral is that little chaps |
15 | -->May overcome life's handicaps, |
16 | -->And, with some effort, they perhaps |
17 | -->Can triumph in the end. |
18 | * ArtisticLicensePaleontology: A small one, a wooly mammoth being tame and spending time with a caveman. |
19 | * BadWithTheBone: A member [[spoiler:of a enemy tribe]] is seen with a bone weapon. |
20 | * BearsAreBadNews: A bear attacked Mik and Rumm to try and take their cave, he quickly ran off though thanks to Rumm. |
21 | * BodyPaint: Rumm gets his tusks painted in the last page. |
22 | * FarmBoy: Mik could be considered this after he makes himself a garden [[spoiler:and after he saves his tribe he becomes the tribe's leader]]. |
23 | * HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Mik the hero is the only blond in the entire story. |
24 | * HorseOfADifferentColor: Rumm a mammoth allows Mik to ride him. |
25 | * NarrativePoem: The entire story is in third person and rhymes. |
26 | * NearlyNormalAnimal: Rumm the mammoth may qualify since he clearly understands Mik and even responses to him once by shaking his head when Mik offered him fish. |
27 | * OnlyFriend: Mik and Rumm start of as such due to being left behind by their families. |
28 | * PetBabyWildAnimal: Rumm starts as this. |
