Summary: Oona lives in a cave with her high-powered mother (she’s trying to market the newly-invented wheel), her father (he’s a laid-back hunter-gatherer who likes to cook), and younger brother, Bonk. When Oona discovers a large egg, she hopes it will hatch into something that Bonk’s not allergic to. Or that will be interested in eating her and her family. When she and Bonk have a fight, the egg mysteriously disappears, and Oona is heartbroken. Using her wits and ingenuity, she figures out what happened and tracks down her unhatched pet just as the egg is starting to rock and crack a bit. It breaks open, and out steps a baby…well, I can’t give everything away. 160 pages; grades 2-4.Pros: The Oodlethunks are a modern Stone-Age family, and 21st century kids will chuckle over the modern reinventions of prehistoric life. The author’s note at the end separates fact from fiction, explaining that much of the Oodlethunks’ village is based on ancient Colorado. Fun illustrations.Cons: The geologic ages are a bit mixed up.
I purchased this book for my granddaughter, Adele, who lives 3000 miles from me! Her review was very enthusiastic. She wants more Oona stories, but we haven't been able to find more. We sincerely hope they are in progress!
My 7 year old is not a fan of reading and we have tried everything... this book has been the key to peaking his interest. He now asks if we can go read every night and is disappointed when there just isn't enough time! Keep them coming Ms. Griffin this English teacher/ mom is beyond thankful for your amazing work!
This book is so funny, fun, and endearing! I am always looking for good chapter books to read to my students. I really like this book because the characters are good hearted and the book is entertaining without making the kids mischievous. (Unlike Junie B. Jones) I also like the modern twists on a stone age family.
Great book. I just started reading chapter books with my 7yr old and he was enthralled. The chapters are perfectly limited with cliffhangers so one chapter a night a enough to keep him interested. Can't wait till Sept when #2 comes out.
This book was for my daughter, so I asked her how many stars she would give it. She loves it, and so I got another copy for my niece, who is not as easy to get to read. She likes it too.
