My kids followed in wonder as we went through it. It conveyed the message well. They got it. And moved on. It’s not the kind of book that kids want to read over and over again. I understand other reviewers who described it as boring. I would say, for homeschooling purposes, when you are looking to convey a piece of the evolution story with a nice book (i couldn’t have explained it better myself !), it works very well. Just don't expect an all-time favourite bedtime story. Review: My three year-old daughter received this book as a gift. She LOVES it! The book tells the story of a boy who finds himself in prehistoric times. The boy befriends a little girl named Om, who becomes his guide. Om and her family/tribe teach the boy about making tools, cooking with fire, cave paintings... when the "Stone Age Boy" returns to the present day, he grows up to become an archeologist, always looking for traces of Om and her people. This book is fantastic because it teaches a lot, without being "lesson-y." The story is simple, the illustration is beautiful... and, it is seriously "gender neutral." Great for boys AND girls! I highly recommend it for any child between the ages of 2 and probably 6 or so. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the price on this book. What a steal! I bought copies for my daughter's teacher, and for her friends' birthdays. Buy this book - your kid(s) will love it! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 1406312193 | | Amazon Bestseller | #204,958 in Foreign Language Books ( See Top 100 in Foreign Language Books ) #962 in Children's History (Foreign Language Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,158) | | Dimensions | 10.63 x 0.24 x 8.98 inches | | ISBN-10 | 9781406312195 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1406312195 | | Item Weight | 1.05 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Print length | 40 pages | | Publication date | October 6, 2008 | | Publisher | Walker Books Ltd | | Reading age | 4 - 7 years | ## Images ![Stone Age Boy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RBfRPMGyS.jpg) ![Stone Age Boy - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815f2a+f7SL.jpg) ![Stone Age Boy - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91kCNEbYnAL.jpg) ![Stone Age Boy - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812hnydOfPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***T on May 16, 2023* Very nice way of presenting to kids how people used to do things a long long time ago, when they didn’t have forks or plates, or any plastic things (all things kids now take for granted as part of their daily routines).

Read it with your child. A boy falls down a sort of rabbit hole in a forest - oblique reminder of Alice here - is this perhaps a dream? - and finds himself alone in another era of the world. Until he finds a new friend, who brings him to her family! I can't imagine a better introduction to the idea of prehistoric times, to people long ago very like us, living very differently from us. I'm a grown up and I learned about a few stone age cultural techniques - so you can too. You will learn about hunting, celebrating, family life, crafts and arts - and cave paintings. The illustrations are detailed & accurate depictions - advice was taken from the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford - but they are not insistently didactic, not like instructive illustrations for a children's encyclopedia. There's emotion and imaginative intensity in Kitamura's picture story telling, always. The child of the modern world bonds easily with our ancestors Unsurprising then to find this boy back in our world years later, working as an archaeologist, seeking traces of his former friends and driven by a deep sense of connection that derives from his early absorption in their long ago lives. (This suggestion makes sense to a generation whose earliest acquaintance with history was emotional identification. Children of 7 might be asked to imagine a day in the life of Hugh the Norman page.) Always, looking at Kitamura's picture stories, with their apparently artless, minimal narratives, I'm reminded of the richness of children's inner stories, often hidden to adult eyes. The simplicity of the text contrasts with the glorious adventure and joy of the inner world. "What if..." and "Let's pretend..." are never far away. "In The Attic" is a startling evocation of the distance between that childish stream of consciousness, the flow of rich imagery and imaginings running parallel to our adult perceptions of everyday experience. Story telling, children are making sense of the world even long before verbal invention appears. So read this slowly with your child, taking all the time in the world to talk about the pictures. Later, read Stig of the Dump together. Similar mood but time travel from the past into the future. A stone age boy lives resourcefully on the margins of our civilization and brings his child friend back - briefly, hauntingly- to the times of Stonehenge. ## Frequently Bought Together - Stone Age Boy - How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth - The First Drawing --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/769240330-stone-age-boy](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/769240330-stone-age-boy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
