(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mark Hallett. Beginning with an account of a 1994 discovery of bear bones and wall paintings in a French cave, this oversize book introduces the cave bear, which flourished from 300,000 to 10,000 years ago. The intriguing text touches on the cave bear's physiology and way of life and speculates on how the animal interacted with humans. Some of the accompanying color illustrations have a muddy quality.
