Stone Age Boy

Product Information

Didn’t find the plot as enjoyable as his other work but it was a really good introductory text to the era. Stone Age Boy concerns a young boy who wakes up and finds that he has somehow been transported back to the stone age.

The illustrations are interesting and educational, but I was disappointed that besides a brief reference to picking berries, the author only discusses food preparation and collection in terms of meat.This beautifully illustrated mat includes a range of exciting adjectives to describe the characters and settings in the story. I have seen this page used to inspire writing as well as alongside teaching of how people lived in the Stone Age. The use of ellipses throughout helps build interest and suspense which really drew the children in and made room for plenty of predictions.

Evidence from elsewhere in Europe shows that people living in caves decorated their walls with pictures of animals . The ending was my absolute favourite with the picture and a simple sentence as it had so much impact and drove home the idea that cave paintings were discovered by historians many years later and can be used as evidence.

However, I would have preferred if the portraiture was a little longer with a little more detail and a little more fun.
