About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like the odd one out because they prefer books or logic over roughhousing. In a prehistoric world where brawn usually wins, Arg is an evolved Neanderthal who uses his brain to solve problems, often while his peers are busy being 'traditionally' caveman-like. It is an excellent choice for kids who need to see that being different is a superpower. Across four fast-paced stories, Arg and his talking T-Rex friend, Skeet, navigate gross-out humor and slapstick peril to protect their dinosaur neighbors. While the tone is gleefully disgusting (expect lots of snot and prehistoric smells), the underlying themes of loyalty and creative problem-solving are rock solid. It is perfect for reluctant readers aged 7 to 10 who crave high energy and humor but still benefit from positive messaging about intellect and empathy.
