This series is relatable for upper elementary readers. This time, the two explorers, Tamiko and Ollie, are sent back in time to the Ice Age to help a young boy who has gotten lost from his family. They track the mammoths to find the tribe and reunite Leaf with his parents.
I appreciate the way this series weaves informative text with the story. Further information is provided at the end of the book.

This is the tenth book in The Secret Explorers Series. I love this series for children. Each book teaches children about a different experience in history and has a review section at the end for the children to review the key points.

In this exciting story Ollie, the rainforest specialist and Tamko, the dinosaur specialist, travel back to the ice age to help reunite a baby mammoth 🦣 with its herd! Can you imagine that Mammoth’s still walked the earth when they were building the pyramids!!

A fun read

My children can read chapter books but these books are so much fun to read together. We have started using this series as read aloud during homeschool time and it is a hit! I love the characters and lengths and my kids love the topics and action (but they also aren’t too scary either).

This series is a lot of fun -- great blend of adventure and science. I'm a little confused as to why they sent the Rainforest expert on the ice age adventure, but it's still a good read. This one starred Tamiko, the Dinosaur and Prehistory Expert from Japan and Ollie, the Rainforest Expert from Australia.

Less science and more suspension of disbelief than normal for these books.

My kids, 6 and 3, and I listen to these as audiobooks in the car. We like the format of an adventure story filled will science and history. I wish the series had more stories.
