PENGUIN Discovery in the Cave

A lovely book for my daughter who was attending a course on prehistoric life and used in conjunction with our visits to several local sites with cave paintings or prehistoric remains. The story and text are simple, the pictures are lovely and although it's written as a story, there are enough facts in order to learn from it.

My five year old daughter loves these 'real' stories which act as a great introduction to historical concepts. I read them to her at bedtime, and there follows much discussion and real learning. She has come to love them so much that she often reads them to herself at other times.

My son really enjoyed reading the book. He was interested in the story and liked the illustrations

Very interesting book for a seven years old.

This book is basically a summary of how the world-famous paintings at Lauscaux were discovered. It then shows a recreation of how the paintings were made. It has a surprise ending, which you can read about more in an issue of National Geographic. I would recommend this book for anyone with a kid who loves Step-Into-Reading, as well as prehistory.
