A review by granniepeg
The Ugly Little Boy by Isaac Asimov, Robert Silverberg

5.0

I originally read the short story by Asimov years ago. this was a good expansion of it. Timmie, a young Neandertal, is brought to the future for scientific study. His nurse, Miss Fellows, first is repulsed by him, then loves him as a son. She tries to protect him from the studies and soon learns that he is intelligent, learning as any 3 or 4 year old would learn. Teaching him to speak and read.
