Joe Lillington

Toby and the Ice Giants is about a little bison who, in the last glacial period, decides he is big enough to leave his mother and go on an adventure. He meets other animals and eventually decides he will stay with his mother because the animals he met were big and scary. Lillington has done a fabulous job weaving fact and fiction. As the story unwinds and Toby meets a new animal, there is portion of the page delegated to the facts about the animal. A map is included showing where each animal lived, and a glossary can be found in the back along with several other animals of the period that Toby didn't meet in the story. This is a great book for kids who are fascinated with pre-history.… (plus d'informations)
