4-6Who HQ: What Was...? series.
Illustrated by
David Groff.
The long-running Who Was...? series (originally Grosset, now rebranded by Penguin Workshop) expands its coverage. This readable, informative volume is marred only by its bland interior pencil illustrations that are inconsistent in style. Otherwise, the book will give young readers a good sense of the Ice Age. Occasional full- and double-page text boxes successfully illuminate related topics; a black-and-white photo insert is included. Timeline, websites. Bib.
