When Mo makes friends with a little wild beast, her family are horrified – wild beasts are dangerous.

But could this wild beast save baby Babba from a hungry lynx and become a friend to the whole family?

And then what would they call him? DOG!

This delightful, heart-warming story about a Stone-Age family and the first dog is inspired by the amazing, recent discovery of a child’s footprint alongside a dog’s pawprint in the Chauvet cave in France – from 26,000 years ago!

Tizz and Ott are drawing themselves an adventure! They doodle, splodge, scribble and zig-zag their way through a scary storm and safely home again. This an ideal book to explore all kinds of mark making with young children. The bright, appealing pictures, created in different mediums – from paint to crayon to coloured pencil – inspire readers to create their own visual stories alongside Tizz and Ott. A step-by-step drawing lesson at the back of the book shows how to draw the characters and make a big mess too!
