4-6Oodlethunks series.
Illustrated by
Mike Wu.
Neanderthal siblings Oona and Bonk, with help from their sassy grandma, open a summer CAMP ("Collected Animals Meeting Place") after the Stone Age community's restless pets (including their stegosaurus, Stacy) start causing trouble. The silly anachronisms are part of the fun in this lively series entry about entrepreneurial spirit and creative problem-solving. Purple-tinged illustrations and cave drawing–style doodles add movement and energy.
