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.
