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.

Margaret Cooper has quickened the pulse & deepened the understanding for all of us fascinated by the Ice Age & our earliest human ancestors. In this lush book we can each become Ice Age travelers & prowl the caves, art, tools, & lives of an earlier, more mysterious world. We feel a sense of kinship with our early ancestors & marvel at their endurance & artistic imaginations. This book is certainly an educational tour de force! We are proud to have this in our teaching materials, & appreciate teachers & childrens responses to this valuable book!
