Dave’s Rock

Author: Frann Preston-Gannon

Dave of Dave’s Cave fame is back for another Stone Age lesson in making the most of what you have. Dave and Jon are getting competitive about their rocks, Dave’s rock is bigger but Jon’s is faster. They get new rocks, but Dave is not happy, until Jon has a brilliant idea. They each make their rocks the same and then put them together to make a game. Not quite as ingenious as the animals who are inventing the future behind their backs, but nevertheless, Jon and Dave are friends and that’s all that matters! A fabulously funny concept with attractive illustrations that are bright and young. Publisher Nosy Crow also include a QR code to activate the free Stories Aloud audio book.  Dave’s Rock will thrill fans of the first book and charm new audiences too. Proper picture book fun.
