This colourful and informative book, aimed at younger readers, explores Ice Age art, its discovery, creation, and authenticity. More than decoration, it offers deep insight into early humans, their lives, and beliefs. Though meanings remain mysterious, the art connects us to our ancestors, preserving their stories across millennia. French edition.
'...Making Art in the Ice Age provides enough detail to inspire children to learn more about Ice Age life and living, perhaps even to try making copies of the artworks, -though not in caves! I think this book will be a valuable and essential purchase for public libraries and for school libraries. Any schoolteachers contemplating teaching about Ice Age people and their world would do well to read this book first.' – John Shea (2026)
