The Usborne Beginners series is a great introduction to non-fiction for young readers. Each book is packed with brilliant photographs and illustrations, and simple, bite-sized chunks of text. Discover how Stone Age people used stone to make sophisticated tools; how they gathered food, hunted wild animal and built shelters. Find out about prehistoric art and clothing and how human lives changed forever with the invention of farming. Internet links via Usborne Quicklinks allow readers to discover more online, through quizzes, games, interactive maps and videos.
