Publisher's Synopsis
Are you ready for the Ice Age? Travel back in time to the days of early man and identify a mysterious animal that our ancestors painted on a cave wall long before the dawn of recorded history! The Time Machine series challenges young readers to use their imagination and decision-making skills to write their own story. Options in the text allow readers to choose any path they like within the plot. Readers must draw on background information about the period to make the right choices. This makes the series a great educational device for youngsters to learn about history and all the different cultures, events, and periods that shaped it. Dougal Dixon has been a full-time writer and editor since 1980, and has more than forty books and encyclopaedias (for adults as well as children) to his credit. Some of his better-known works are Dougal Dixon's Dinosaurs, Hugo Award-nominated After Man: A Zoology of the Future, and The New Dinosaurs. He is widely recognised for his novel perspectives on the fundamental concepts of evolution.
