Illustrated by
Jan Gerardi.
Preferring cave painting to bashing heads, Lug fails his tribe's test of manhood and is banished. With a mute exile and a girl from a rival clan, Lug must convince their tribes to unite against a ravenous pride of saber-toothed tigers and prepare for the impending Ice Age. This prehistoric romp with frantic Flintstones-style action is illustrated with expressive cave-drawing-like spot art.
