| California requires the
teaching of prehistory in sixth grade. Both books, Dar and the
Spear-Thrower and Anooka's Answer, have been approved
for legal compliance and inclusion in the new listing of materials
by the state's Department of Education.
Teacher's Guides, which can be downloaded, are designed
to provide opportunities for students to explore some of the information,
ideas, and relationships presented in the novels. The questions
that follow may be used for class discussions or homework assignments.
Both books were praised by reviewers and experts,
as well as children and parents who responded with their valuable
comments. Read reviews
