Discussion topics
If your children have read this book or someone has read it to them, consider these discussion topics:

• Which animal is larger, the sabertooth tiger or the wooly mammoth?
  Which is more dangerous?
  Can you think of other examples of small animals that could be more dangerous than larger ones?
  According to the Bible, who created all animals?
  Are you surprised to learn that being bigger doesn't always mean being more fierce?
  Is the same thing true about people?
  According to the Bible, who created all human beings?


• How do Annie and Jack know that they are in a bear cave?
  How do they know when they are in the cave of a Cro-Magnon family?
  According to the Bible, how did God create animals, such as bears, and people differently?
  If Jack and Annie came to your house, what would they see?
  What would they learn about your family from looking at your belongings?


• What does Annie name the wooly mammoth?
  How does she decide on that name?
  If you have a pet, how did you decide what it should be called?
  Do you know how your parents decided what to name you?
  Do you like your name?
  Why or why not?
  In the Bible, God calls us His children. Why is that name so valuable to Christians?
