A caveboy-meets-cavegirl tale, with a twist!
Neander is a young caveboy. He spends his days doodling on cave walls,
chasing mammoth butterflies, and playing with his pet rock, Rock. But
one day, he meets Neanne--and he's CRUSHED! She's short, she's hairy,
she's perfect! Neander does everything he can think of to get Neanne's
attention. He picks a bouquet for her from the Field of the Bees. He
fetches a conch shell for her from the Waves of Salt. As Neander's
gestures get grander and grander, Neanne remains unimpressed. But then
Neander hatches the grandest gesture of all, and it's Neanne's turn to
do some crushing. From Beth Ferry and Joseph Kuefler comes this sweet
celebration of first love--perfect for Valentine's Day and read-alouds
all year long.
