This Orq. (He Cave Boy.)

(2) PS Illustrated by Lori Nichols. Orq struggles to endear his woolly mammoth Woma to Mother. Then Woma saves Orq from becoming a meal for a saber-toothed tiger and finally wins Mother's heart. Succinct Paleolithic "prose" (Mother's objections: "Woma shed. Woma smell") allows room for plenty of visual humor. This silly tale of unconditional love between a cave boy and his pet mammoth is one for the ages.
