Pebble Plus: Ice Age Animals series.
These volumes provide very basic information about Ice Age animals; Sabertooth and Mammoths end with those creatures' extinction (shrews are still around today). The texts are easy to read but occasionally vague: "Humans settled in the sabertooths' home"; "The babies [shrews] are born blind and naked." Fuzzy digital-looking illustrations play up sharp teeth, long tusks, or small ("tiny") size. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers the these Pebble Plus: Ice Age Animals titles: Arctic Shrews, Sabertooth Cats, and Woolly Mammoths.
