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!
This is the picture book story of a Stone Age child who makes friends with a wild beast, against the family’s wishes.
It is inspired by the discovery in France of a child’s footprint alongside a dog’s pawprint in a cave.
There are pleasant illustrations to help the understanding of the story, and a really useful part at the end, all about Stone Age survival skills, to help with the topic. This will be a helpful addition to the class library, particularly for younger or less confident readers to engage with the Stone Age history topic.
