Neal Layton's classic, lovable mammoths, Oscar and Arabella, now in a new setting - Palmtree Springs Study Centre. As funny as ever coupled with Neal's quirky and delightful illustrations.

Stinking, rubbish-infested rivers to swim in, nature walks minus the nature and Giant Sloth cooking dinner. This can only mean one terrible thing for the Academy students on their school trip. Humans are about! And now Oscar's gone missing. Professor Snout and the other students are about to embark on a rescue mission which goes swimmingly!

"As funny as ever with quirky and delightful illustrations." - Betty Bookmark
