The Adventures of Caveboy

This zippy series kickoff introduces Caveboy, a prehistoric boy who, over three chapters, breaks his treasured club playing “baseskull,” finds a replacement club with help from new friend Mags, and attempts to beat Mags in a footrace without letting go of his club. Single-minded and single-eyebrowed (“All you need is one!”), Caveboy is a mischievous, relatable hero who is determined to do things his way but willing to take advice now and again. Wight’s full-color cartoons have a scruffy charm and readily draw out the humor woven into each chapter. Simultaneously available: Caveboy Is Bored! Ages 5–7.
