Summary from Random House Children's Books
Minnow the cave boy longs to be big enough to go hunting. When he is
swept away by the river, he loves learning to fend for himself. He even
finds a friend far from home - a little bear.
Together Minnow and the
bear grow big and strong, but winter forces them to make the difficult
journey home. Will their new experience be enough to keep them safe?
Nayuleska's thoughts
I was gripped by the companionship Minnow gained from the bear, how cute they looked when they slept and the fear when life chucked obstacles at them. I can't stress enough how detailed all the illustrations are, they are the type which kept me occupied for over 20 minutes at a time when I was little.
