The story of Marcel, his dog, and the amazing cave paintings of Lascaux - a stunningly illustrated fact-filled book for curious young readers.

Have you ever wondered what life was like long, long ago? Before there were cars, buildings, and even books, people lived in caves. They didn't have phones or computers, but they did have stories to tell.

In 1940, a boy named Marcel and his dog, Robot, discovered some of these stories. Marcel was walking with Robot near his home in France when Robot sniffed out a strange hole near a tree. Marcel and his friends were excited and rushed inside to see what treasure they could find. But the treasure they found was greater than they could've imagined: pictures on the walls of a cave, drawn by Paleolithic people who lived hundreds of thousands of years ago.

This artwork helped archaeologists understand some of what life was like long ago. But exactly why the pictures were created is a mystery, and they have made us wonder ever since. What stories did these ancient artists want to share?

Filled with beautiful illustrations by Kate Winter and fold-out pages that let you explore the cave and its secrets, this is a book that curious kids will want to read again and again.
