Lucy & Andy Neanderthal by Jeffrey Brown
3.0
***Received this as an ARC from work***
I really wanted to like this book, and if I was a kid I might have. The story seemed jumbled and rushed. I am interested in seeing the final artwork though. About half of the art was not finalized. I think Jeffrey Brown understands kids and what they like. There is a scene in the book where the sister farts and blames it on the brother that was completely unexpected, but in the eyes of a child probably hilarious. I felt that there wasn't a lot of story going on. The book is split into different parts (hunting, drawing, clothing, etc). After each subject there is a mini comic of two archeologists talking about the subject. It's a cute book, but that's about it.
