Caden's next-door neighbor, Martha, is the only adult who encourages him to keep digging. Working together, they unearth Caden's discovery: the giant bones of a prehistoric woolly mammoth! After comically misassembling the massive skeleton, Caden attracts everyone's attention with his discovery--and finds another treasure in bringing his family together"--Provided by publisher.
