Really enjoyed my second outing with Scarlet and Thomas into the past. I have previously read the Viking Attack one and loved it.
This one is similar in that Grandad has invented a time machine and they can both travel back to any point in time and they actually travel back to 2 places in this...early Stone Age and late Stone Age. The fact that they are twins and always end up in a slightly different area allows for a lot more historical knowledge to come across too. Through their activities whether it be hunting, travelling with people or moving the stones to Stonehenge, the reader gains lots of historical knowledge about that particular period of time including clothing, food, beliefs, society and customs. This is a good book for Years 3 and 4 upwards as it is easily accessible in terms of short chapters, lots of action and illustrations but is full of learning about history.
