Description
24 Hours in the Stone Age
Author: Lan Cook
Suggested curriculum year: Year 3+
Summary: A great comic-strip style text combining both fiction and non-fiction all in one. Spend the day with Auri, a young girl living 20,000 years ago in the Stone Age. Auri gives you a tour of her home where you meet her friends and family along the way. She teaches you all about foraging for food, gives you a guide to dangerous animals and hunting, cave painting and even what they get up to for leisure. It gives a great insight into a ‘typical day’ in the Stone Age.
Likes:
– It covers a variety of interesting parts of people’s lives in the Stone Age.
– There is a brilliant glossary and index at the back to help children navigate and understand the information better.
– The comic-strip style is accessible for younger children and makes the information and story less overwhelming when written in small chunks.
