Tiny, long toothed arctic squirrels roamed the earth during the ice age. Awesome illustrations accompany carefully leveled text about food, habitat, behavior, and extinction, bringing sabertooth squirrels to life like never before. STARRED REVIEW! These titles covering Ice Age animals create a great beginner series. The illustrations are beautifully done and draw readers into the narrative. . . .The series is exceptionally well thought out and well-executed.
