The story of the discovery of the Lascaux cave paintings told for kids . . . read this with my little kids (8 & 10) . . .

Great story, made all the greater because it's a true story. Good illustrations. The artistic beauty of the cave drawings struck me most. Certainly a great little book for early readers that combines the learning of reading with that of science.

This books is about the discovery of a prehistoric cave in France on the eve of World War II. Although it is told like a story, the characters and stories are true. Why this is shelved in my library's fiction section is beyond. This title would be perfect for "informational texts" or non-fiction books that read like fiction to satisfy NYC's Common Core Non-Fic Curriculum requirements. My 8 year old daughter read about half of it with a friend and they were intrigued. I don't think they would have picked the title out on their own, but it was good that they weren't bored once they began reading it.
