The Mammoth Who Loved to Paint Summary: "The Mammoth Who Loved to Paint," a cute children's book, is about a young mammoth named Marvin who feels alone in a world that values toughness and power more than anything else. Marvin, like the other mammoths in his group, finds that he is very good at painting. This makes him happy and makes him stand out. At the start of the story, Marvin's big, clumsy feet break some bright berries in the forest. He is drawn to a rock with a bright stain from berries that have been crushed. He makes his first painting by spreading the colors with his tail. For Marvin, this is both an exciting and scary time of discovery because he thinks his friends might not be as excited about art as he is. When Marvin meets Ellie, a fellow giant who hides her love of music, he keeps exploring his gift behind closed doors. They become close friends because they help each other out and like the same things. Because of their friendship, which gets stronger over time, Marvin finally gets up the nerve to show his art to the cattle. The story ends with the Full Moon Gathering, a party where the whole community comes together. Marvin chooses to show the herd his art after Ellie tells him to do so. He paints a big, bright picture at the party while Ellie plays a nice song that goes well with his work. The herd is shocked at first, but after being moved by Marvin's painting's beauty and emotion, they start to show their support and thanks for each other right away. The story ends when Marvin's gift is accepted and enjoyed by the group. Marvin and Ellie did a great job and were brave. The old giant tells them that sharing and appreciating their unique gifts makes them very strong. Other mammoths are inspired by Marvin to show off their own hidden skills, which improves the cultural life of the group. "The Mammoth Who Loved to Paint" is a story about friendship, making friends, and finding out who you are. It teaches young readers how important it is to be yourself, have a range of interests, and follow your dreams. Marvin's journey from being alone and scared to being accepted and involved in his community is a powerful reminder that everyone has something special to offer, no matter how strange they may seem. Chapter 1: Marvin's Discovery of Color Marvin was different from the other young mammoths in his group. Littler and nicer, he seemed to be more interested in everything around him. Marvin got lost from his group one bright and sunny morning because he was curious and liked to try new things. Birds singing and leaves rustling were the only sounds you could hear in the woods. He looked around some more and found a bush that stood out from the rest. It was covered in bright red berries that looked so good. As an interested mammoth, Marvin had to touch the strange nuts. He reached out and gave one a soft touch with his trunk. He was shocked when it blew up and bright red juice flew everywhere it touched. The juice had made a pretty, colorful line on the gray rock next to the plant. Marvin was stunned by the beautiful show of colors. It looks like he found a valuable secret inside the common red fruit in there. After making this wonderful find, Marvin had to touch more berries. This time, he swept his big, soft tail through the plants. The red on the rock turned blue, yellow, and green as more berries popped under light pressure. When the colors got close together, they mixed to make new colors like orange, purple, and blue. He swung his tail back and forth, painting the nature scene with each stroke. Marvin was amazed. Marvin learned how much he liked the colors when he used the berries to paint. They were very different from the duller colors of the mammoth group and the normal browns and grays of the forest. His heart was drawn to the bright colors that sparkled in the sun, Marvin thought. Marvin was interested, so he kept trying new things. He squished a lot of berries together to make new colors. He found that some of the berries turned into a happy, bright orange, while others turned into a deep, rich purple. Marvin was thrilled every time he found a new color. Marvin got lost in the berries and forgot how much time had passed. As the sun moved across the sky, it brought out the beauty of his rock art. The colors sparkled in the warm afternoon sun, and Marvin was so happy that he had turned some ordinary berries from the trees into something so beautiful. Marvin thought this was a turning point. He had a hidden love for painting and colors that came easily to him, like how he naturally swung his trunk and blew trumpets. There was, however, a hint of uneasiness. How did those around it see it? Instead of being creative and coming up with new ideas, they valued being big and strong. Even though Marvin knew his new love was special, it brought him a lot of happiness. He was scared, but Marvin decided he couldn't give up drawing, which he had recently become very interested in. He couldn't have ignored the colors or how much happiness they gave him. He made up his mind to come back to this spot with the bright berries and keep painting whenever he could get away from the crowd. When Marvin went back to see his family that day, he felt good inside and his steps were easy. He began to understand a very important truth about himself as he discovered the joys of color and art. He learned that it was okay to be different and that being interested and willing to try new things can sometimes lead to amazing finds. Even though Marvin was small, he had a big heart and an even bigger love for painting. He had a lot of good days ahead of him after this trip. Each color he made was a step toward accepting himself, and each flick of his tail across the stones in the forest was a step toward living out his unique fate. Chapter 2: The First Wisp. Marvin was a big, creative young man who was always coming up with new ideas. Having fun with berries in the woods had made him love colors, and he couldn't wait to try something even better. He found a big, flat rock that looked like it would be great for his first piece of art. Marvin went up to the rock with interest and purpose, and the berries were still dripping down his tail. As Marvin stood in front of the rock, he dug his tail into a new spot of broken berries. Then he started painting very slowly and without much care. With such ease, his tail moved across the rock's surface, leaving behind beautiful color streaks. With each stroke, he drew wavy lines that moved across the rock like bright rivers. Bright blue streaks and bright yellow made a green that looked like it sparkled in the sun. As the color changed from red to purple, Marvin thought of the flowers that bloomed for a short time in the spring. A small bird had flown down to check things out, but Marvin was drawing and didn't see it. The bright colors on the rock caught the bird's eye, and it moved quickly toward it. It got closer when it saw a mammoth using its tail as a brush. With a curious chirp, the bird turned its head to the side to look at Marvin's picture. It asked, "What are you doing?" Marvin stopped, and his tail was an array of colors. He turned around and saw a small bird watching him. Marvin, excited to have an audience, said, "I'm painting! I found these berries and saw that they could make beautiful colors, so I decided to use them to make something special." The bird hopped closer, its little beak opening a little in surprise.

Set in the challenging terrain of Ice Age Europe that millions of Jean Auel’s readers have come to treasure, The Mammoth Hunters is an epic novel of love, knowledge, jealousy, and hard choices—a novel certain to garner Jean Auel even greater acclaim as a master storyteller of the dawn of humanity. Ayla, the independent heroine of The Clan of the Cave Bear and The Valley of Horses, sets out from the valley on Whinney, the horse she tamed. With her is Jondalar, the tall, handsome, yellow-haired man she nursed back to health and came to love. Together they meet the Mamutoi—the Mammoth Hunters—people like Ayla. But to Ayla, who was raised by the Clan of the Cave Bear, they are “the Others.” She approaches them with mixed feelings of fear and curiosity. Talut, a powerful bear of a man with bright red hair, a booming laugh, and a gentle heart, and his tall, dark-haired sister, Tulie, are the leaders of the Lion Camp of the Mamutoi. It is here that Ayla finds her first women friends, but some among the Mamutoi dislike Ayla because she was raised by “flatheads,” their name for the people of the Clan. Ayla is haunted by her memories of the Clan because Rydag, a child of mixed parentage living with the Mamutoi, bears so strong a resemblance to her own son, Durc. It is the Mamutoi master carver of ivory—dark-skinned Ranec, flirtatious, artistic, magnetic—who fascinates Ayla. She finds herself drawn to him. Because of her uncanny control over animals, her healing skills, and the magic firestone she discovered, Ayla is adopted into the Mammoth Hearth by Mamut, the ancient shaman of the Great Earth Mother. Ayla finds herself torn between her strong feelings for Ranec and her powerful love for the wildly jealous and unsure Jondalar. It is not until after the great mammoth hunt, when Ayla’s life is threatened, that a fateful decision is made.
