Dave's Rock

(3) K-3 Caveman Dave thinks his rock is better than caveman Jon's: "Dave's rock bigger"; one throw later, he realizes that "Jon's rock faster." Their rivalry builds until they find a creative way to defuse it. The blunt art serves the prehistoric milieu, and the book's humor--the protagonists' immaturity, their caveman-speak--illuminates the stupidity of fighting over small (albeit heavy) things.
