''Season of the Mammoth'' is a great book for confident readers coming into KS2. The story itself is engaging, entertaining and exciting and offers a vicarious peek into a long ago world. But it also provides a platform for constructive discussion about the big topics of today. One for the classroom or for parents and child to share. Recommended.
If you enjoy tales from pre-history, [[Song Hunter by Sally Prue]] also looks at early encounters between Neanderthals and homo sapiens that we now know took place. For older readers, [[Promise of the Wolves (Wolf Chronicles 1) by Dorothy Hearst|Promise of the Wolves by Dorothy Hearst]] goes back 14,000 years to look at the domestication of wolves and the story of how dogs became man's best friend. You might also appreciate [[A Whisper of Wolves by Kris Humphrey]], but for a short read, ''Season of the Mammoth'' is better.
