Prehistoric animals lived long before people began writing things down. These guides focus on the Ice Age, when sabre-toothed cats and woolly mammoths roamed the land. You can find out what sabre-toothed cats ate, when they died out and why. One guide asks whether a sabre-toothed cat could beat a lion. Others look at how long the Ice Age lasted and whether scientists could bring mammoths back. There is even a guide to Scrat, the squirrel from the Ice Age films.
Guides with games inside: put history in order, match the pairs, spot the myth, then take the final quiz.
