At the top of the mountain lived a plump mammoth. Meanwhile, in the valley below, a very skinny caveman couldn't stop thinking about food. One day, this man saw the mammoth and quickly thought: "Meat is what a caveman wants!" And that's where it all began. Knowing himself to be a man of great imagination and few resources, Gor set out to recruit a troop of five friends, as hungry as he was, to gather the essential tools for the great feat of hunting a great mammoth: a spear, a cart, a pot, and firewood. Hunger sharpens the wit. In Tony Ross's unmistakable style, the characters become comical, eloquent, and tender beings. The wacky situations manage to move without moralizing and make the reader laugh out loud. A text of sonorous and hilarious rhymes that seduces early readers and encourages them to participate in reading aloud and exercise their auditory memory.
