STORY: The Almost Wolf - Roe's father is a great chief and he wants Roe to be a great hunter. However, Roe is more interested in understanding animals than learning how to hunt them. On an important hunt, Roe fails to spear a bison and embarrasses his father. Now, Roe has been told that he cannot eat with the tribe until he can make himself useful. Could taming a wolf be useful? FACTS: The Cro-Magnon People-Readers will learn how our ancestors, the Cro-Magnon people, lived and survived. Over 20,000 years ago, these ancient people lived a hard life that was focused primarily on hunting for food. The most advanced invention they had was a fish hook! Yet, despite their harsh life, the Cro-Magnons also created the first works of art: sculptures and cave paintings, many of which have survived.
