About the Book

If you were exploring in the Ice Age, would you be able to recognize the tracks of a sabre tooth tiger, the droppings of a woolly rhinoceros or the call of the giant deer? If not, this unique book would be the essential guide to have with you for quick, on-the-spot reference.For anyone fascinated by long-extinct creatures, this is a guide to how twelve Ice-Age animals would have lived, eaten and hunted. Vivid illustrations are accompanied by notes on size, body shape fur, food, behaviour and the sort of habitat in which you might have found each animal. Additional notes and illustrations indicate 'signs' to look out for when tracking each animal such as dung and tracks. And there are even warnings to prepare would-be trackers for the dangers that some ice-age animals presented.

Review :
These illustrations are literally out of this world in every sense - a gorgeous book that is deeply informative while evoking the mystery of these beautiful animals from another age. Irish Post This is without doubt an award-winning book which will entertain and inform. A must for any school library with a section at the back which fleshes out the details found elsewhere in the book. I can definitely recommend this book as it had me chuckling all evening.
