Cave Detectives: Unraveling the Mystery of an Ice Age Cave

48 pp. | Chronicle | June, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8118-5006-3 $15.95
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Ashley Mims. Photographs by Edward Biamonte. This account of the unexpected discovery and exploration of an ice age cave in Missouri suffers from a small typeface and many awkward watercolor-pencil drawings (larger reproductions of the accompanying photographs would have been preferable). The author is clear about the significance of the Riverbluff Cave for paleontological research, which may pique the interest of scientifically minded young readers. Timeline. Glos.
