The First Drawing

(2) K-3 The narrator begins by addressing a modern kid: "Imagine...You live in a cave...You love to watch animals." The pictures then flash back to a prehistoric child who is inspired by his encounter with a woolly mammoth to trace its image on the cave wall. Gerstein enhances his simply sketched figures with luminous acrylics and colored pencil, in hues from pure sky blue to firelight.
