I love this series! There is so much information in these books. This one, however, wasn't as good as the rest of them. I felt it was a bit more brutal. I know it's true how the people of that time had to kill to survive, but in the book it just seemed too much. How you had to send the spear into their hearts or lungs and not to try for the head because you couldn't get the spear through the skull. I might be too much for the younger ones. I love the illustrations, I think the pictures are perfect for kids. They love the silliness of funny pictures.
I loved the idea for this book - but my kids & I were less than impressed with the artwork. It was just too cartoonish - Antram's people & animals were over the top when it came to noses & eyes (they looked buffoonish, worse than the characters in "Ice Age"). My kids were bored with the descriptive passages, and really, so much about prehistoric life is fascinating - especially mammoth hunting - that there should be no reason for such uninspiring text.
