Ik ben echt zo blij dat ik dit boek uit de bibliotheek heb meegenomen, want wat was dit boek superleuk! Je weet wat ze zeggen, als je niet sterk bent moet je slim zijn. Wel dat is precies Hannes. En het is nu tijd voor zijn Ga-uit-de-grot ritueel die hij samen met kinderen moet doen van zijn leeftijd. Ze moeten 1 van de grote zes vangen (die alle 6 hilarische namen hebben). Gelukkig heeft de groep Hannes. Ja, hij is een watje (en soms vond ik hem een tikje vervelend), maar hij bedenkt wel alle slimme plannen waardoor ze overleven. :P Ik lag regelmatig helemaal dubbel. Arme kinderen, want wat ze hebben geleerd.. tja, werkt niet in het echt. Wat een heerlijk boek. Zeker een aanrader, en ik kan niet wachten tot volgend jaar het volgende boek uitkomt.

So, basically Dave and his "friends" (two of them are his friends, two of them are more like frenemies) are being sent out on their "Baby-Go-Boom"; a tribal ritual where the 12 year olds are sent out on their first hunt of one of the "Big 6" game. They must return with food --or not bother coming home. Danger and comic hilarity apparently ensues.
And okay, that's fine.
But there is just something irks me about the language and the crudeness of the art. I think the characters and the premise have a great potential...I'm just not seeing it here. Or at least not enough to have been "Oh good, there is a second book coming out!" If want more Caveman antics, I'll sick to Lucy and Andy Neanderthal.

Not a fan of the fart joke middle-school humor, but at least the plot involves working together and problem solving?

My son enjoyed this book, but I found it a bit weird myself. I forced myself to read it aloud because of how much I love him.

I finally got to read Caveboy Dave! I've been looking forward to this for months. It's a fun children's graphic novel about Dave Unga-Bunga, the grandson of the inventor of fire and the son of the inventor of the wheel, and how he wants to prove himself. I like the ridiculous situations and the humor. Thanks for the recommendation, Sam!

I was not a huge fan of the artwork, and there were times when I was confused about what the cave people knew and didn't know of modern words, but I think kids will enjoy this one and it has STEM applications.

Caveboy Dave by Aaron Reynolds and Phil McAndrew (239 pg) is a pleasant surprise rampant with gross-out and clever humor. Even though its audience is children, it does not treat them as if they are stupid. I had not expected much from this book, but it has earned a new fan. Dave is a loveable but, of course, misunderstood inventor, who comes from a long-line of cavemen inventors. During the caveman equivalent of a coming-of-age ceremony, he tries to find himself and not get killed. I enjoyed the cast of characters and actually laughed a few times. I will be reading the sequel!
