An irresistible prehistoric adventure from two of the biggest names in children's books!
Book Description
A hairy mammoth takes a cheeky little baby on a thrilling ride through a moonlit landscape populated by a sabre-toothed tiger, a leaping hare, a laughing hyena and even, just maybe, by a big brown bear . . . But where are they going? And what has it to do with the baby’s scribblings on the cave wall?

Julia Donaldson has been busy lately, with both this and "Zog" out at almost the same time. The illustrations are by the wonderful Emily Gravett, which gives a slightly different feel to her work than usual. Cave Baby lives in his cave, with his parents who create wondeful paintings on the walls. When Cave Baby gets hold of the paint pots, his parents are cross at the mess he makes. That night a mammoth comes and takes Cave Baby away. At first, Cave Baby is afraid, but then they go to the mammoths cave and he is allowed to paint all he wants, before mammoth takes him back home - after playtime is over. The story is quite simple and celebrates the creativity of babies in all their joyous messy ways! Great book, lovely story and beautiful illustrations.

Julia Donaldson never dissapoints! I am a real fan of all her picture books and have always thought that her cooperation with Axel Scheffler was a match made in children-books-heaven. So, when I saw that this book was illustrated by Emily Gravett, I was at first a little apprehensive. No matter how great Julia Donaldson's stories are, if the illustrations don't match up, I won't buy the book. However, after browsing through 'Cave Baby' in one of the stores, I was besotted! Beautiful! Your collection would not be complete without it!

This was an instant hit with my three year old and myself. the story is great - i think Julia Donaldson is a genius, but it was the illustrations we really loved - they are absolutely beautiful and so clever - we enjoyed searching for the big brown bears - one of them took a double take to see that it wasn't what it appeared to be! buy it!

Lots of fun ...
Fab illustrations - and great simple story which avoids the frustrating repetition of Gruffalo &Room on the Broom. Instant hit with mum & nearly 2 year old.

Lovely pictures, a fairly standard Julia Donaldson story (ie rhyming text, and then a twist at the end). Read more

My 2 year old loves this book. The text and illustrations are both lovely, just hope it doesn't give him extra ideas about drawing on walls!Cave Baby
