This has got to be the best book in this series so far, for starters the cover lacked any disgusting features, in fact the whole story barely had any bad parts in it, there were only a few bits that made me turn a little bit green. I loved the fact that the dinosaur Arg needed to rescue was a velociraptor, it's my favourite kind of dinosaur; although they were the size of turkeys, not young humans.
The story was actually rather fun, the plot was both funny and exciting, the whole storyline flowed well, and I found it hard to believe that this was set in caveman times, Arg's behaviour seems so modern! The cover was quite active, it showed the levelof excitement that this book gives, and you don't need the blurb on the back of the book to see what the basic plot is! I was actually quite surprised that the book was enjoyable for someone my age, this book seems to be made for kids younger than me, so I would say that anyone 7-11 years old will hopefully enjoy this book, but I can't speak for everyone.
The price is a little O.T.T, I would have expected a simple kid's book to have been a lot cheaper than $12.00. If I ever have kids one day, and people still sell these books, I might read this to my boy/girl, I'm sure they'll love it! This is a book that will be loved by anyone who loves dinosaurs, cavemen and excitement. Have fun reading!
This is a refreshingly different book about a cave boy and his adventures with dinosaurs (and escapes from his nasty sister).
I struggled a bit with the pronunciation of the names of the dinosaurs ( a phonetic spelling of each name would have been great) but liked the concept of the book. This could be an easy way for children to learn a little bit about how some believe our ancestors may have lived, however so much of it is not real that if your child has problems differentiating between fact and fiction, I would probably err them on the side of make believe as I doubt a T- Rex would be having a conversation with cave boy for real
.
I think this would probably appeal more to boys than girls due to its subject matter and vivid descriptions of poo and pus and other such grossness!!
This is a black and white book and almost every page has an illustration related to the text on that page. I loved the typeset which is Berkeley Oldstyle and very easy to read.
A good series of books to get your young boys reading but not sure of the appeal to girls.
