Book Reviews of Exploring the Ice Age

Book Review: Very detailed...
Summary: 5 Stars

Few books for younger readers about the ice age get into so many details. Not only are there chapters about how ice age humans hunted and kept warm, but the book also examines why and how humans would need to keep track of time, what animals besides mammoths and other big game would have been on their menu and even a chapter exploring the many reasons they may have had to create art in the first place.
Full of photos and drawings, a great book that asks a lot of questions and gives some possible answers.

Summary of Exploring the Ice Age

Put on your warmest parka, grab your time-travel shoes, and get ready to explore the Ice Age! As you step back to a time beginning some 35,000 years ago, you'll not only unearth ancient artifacts and bones and discover incredible works of art, you'll come up with ideas about how our early ancestors might have lived during this fascinating -- and chilly -- period.

As you learn more about the Ice Agers' way of life, you may be surprised by how cleverly they solved their problems. They sewed snug clothing and hunted big game, surviving very well in the icy climate! They also played musical instruments and, most remarkably, invented art.

Unearth their bones, sift through their trash piles, uncover their tools and hearths, delve into the darkness of their caves, and enter the fascinating world of the Ice Age!
