LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS
Making stone tools . . . . . . _Frontispiece_
All at once, the goat stood up on her hind legs
Strongarm
A big black bear came along
Then he sat down by the fire to make his picture of the bear
Ram horns
Sewing together skins of wild oxen
A little bone
Bone needle
Broken hunting club
The bees flew off humming angrily
The edge of the pond
And, for fun, set it against the string
Broken hunting club (2nd version)
Cattle horns
So they lay down on the ground and began to call
A nest full of young eagles
She scraped off all the meat and fat
Tiger's tooth and bear's claw
Lion
Lion's
