From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2–Dr. Clock uses his time machine to travel back to the Ice Age, where he hopes to find a saber-toothed cat. The clueless scientist does not notice that his baby has tagged along on the trip. After a few adventures, he returns home with a jar of "cat scat," and the baby empties out a hat to reveal an impressive collection of bones. While the subject matter will appeal to children, some of the vocabulary may be challenging for beginning readers. As Dr. Clock rides on the back of a woolly mammoth he wonders aloud, "Is it an earthquake? Is it an avalanche?" With no picture clues available to represent his thoughts, it would be difficult for youngsters to decode these words. The characters and cartoon illustrations are interesting enough, but this may not be the best choice for newly independent readers.–Anne L. Tormohlen, Deerfield Elementary School, Lawrence, KS
