Why read it?
1 author picked Stone Age, Bone Age! as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I am a big fan of this imaginative, time-traveling picture book, which transports the young reader back to prehistoric times. The Stone Age is not always the most accessible subject for little ones, but there is nothing dry about the bones seen here.
The story is told in a fun, relatable text, with expressive language perfect for reading aloud—‘Water dripping! The wind moaning!’ etc. Supporting explanations are added in italic text, which I found fascinating. Direct invitations immediately grab attention, such as ‘Make tricky traps and track wild animals. An ambush…Shhh!’
I love how the language and illustrations complement each…
From Deborah's list on picture books tell a story to explain true facts.
