"Me hungry," a cave-boy complains to his father. "Me busy," Dad gruffly replies; Mom has the same response. What's a peckish, resourceful cave-boy to do? "Me hunt!" His prehistoric prey doesn't cooperate, however. Tankard's uncluttered, brightly colored ink and digital compositions featuring deft use of line and surprising background hues illustrate a simple story told entirely in cave-speak.
