Reading Planet: Astro - The Ice Age - Venus/Gold band

Do you think you could survive in an ice age? There’s not a lot of food, no TV or cars, everything wants to eat or squish you, and it’s very, VERY cold! Sound like fun? In this book, you’ll discover how people living in the Ice Age kept warm in such a cold climate. You’ll find out about the clothes they wore, the food they ate, the art they created and what their homes looked like. You might also recognise some of the animals that lived in the Ice Age - some of them are still around today. They’re just a little smaller and less furry now! And finally, we’ll be asking the BIG question: Will there ever be another ice age? Let’s find out!
