Reach for this book when your child is caught in a cycle of wanting what others have or feeling like their current toys and environment are no longer good enough. It is a perfect choice for navigating the 'grass is greener' syndrome that often crops up during preschool and early elementary years. The story follows Dave, a caveman who enjoys his home but wonders if a better cave exists elsewhere. After a series of humorous misadventures involving cramped, cold, and crowded living situations, he realizes his original cave was perfect all along. It is an ideal read-aloud for children ages 3 to 7, using humor and repetitive, caveman-style dialogue to teach gratitude and the value of contentment. Parents will appreciate how it opens a gentle conversation about appreciating what we already possess without being overly preachy.
