Description

Step back 15,000 years as a modern boy enters a Stone Age village and learns a few prehistoric tricks of the trade. One day a boy falls down a hole, and an amazing thing happens — when he wakes, he’s in a camp full of people wearing animal skins! Mixing flight of fancy with prehistoric facts, Satoshi Kitamura ushers us back to a time of surprising innovation and artistic expression, shown in cave paintings visible to this day. Travel 20,000 years into the past and discover what life as a caveman was like in this prehistoric picture book by Kitamura. The endpapers are covered in cave painting-style illustrations of prehistoric animals, and the book also includes a timeline, index and endnote from the author, useful for further study.
