Oi, Caveboy!: Iggy the Urk [Paperback]

Alan MacDonald (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 7 and up | Grade Level: 2 and up | Series: Iggy the Urk

A witty caveboy adventure illustrated as if by Iggy himself

 

Iggy is different from the rest of his tribe, the Urks, who spend their time hunting or boulder-rolling. Instead, he’s always daubing on the walls of his cave or coming up with infuriating new ideas. Will Iggy be able to complete the Sons of Urk ceremony or will his differences keep him apart from his tribe forever?

Editorial Reviews

Review

'This is a very funny book, full of Neanderthal nonsense and primitive puns' Family Interest 'There is a lot of lively dialogue ... Jokes and puns, tribes and catapults, abound and will appeal to young readers' Sophie Smiley, School Librarian 'The hilarious tale whistles along like a stone from Iggy's newly invented clutterpult, and will have readers on the edge of their stone seats ... Beech's pen and ink cartoons, with their Blake-like spontaneity, are a perfect accompaniment to the lively text' Inis magazine 'This hilarious tale whistles along like a stone from Iggy's clutterpult ... Beech's pen and ink cartoons are perfect' Bookfest
