(3) 4-6 Oodlethunks 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.

(3) 4-6 Oodlethunks series. Illustrated by Mike Wu. Cavegirl Oona can't have a pet "fruitafossor" because of her brother Bonk's allergies. The giant egg she finds while lost one day is the perfect replacement--until it goes missing. This small-town Stone Age story blends pre-history with modern everyday angst of being a kid. A great choice for middle-grade budding paleontologists and Flintstones fans alike.

(3) 4-6 Oodlethunks series. Illustrated by Mike Wu. Oona's egg has finally hatched! But baby stegosaurus Stacy outgrows the Oodlethunks' cave, and Oona's parents turn the dino loose. Oona petitions a witch for help, but it's ultimately the Woggle Woods citizens who come to Stacy's rescue. Adventure pairs with lessons on responsible pet-raising and teamwork in this second lively Neanderthals-with-a-modern-spin family story. A mix of blue-tinged illustrations and cave drawings appear throughout.
