Preston- Gannon, Frann Dave’s
Cave. PICTURE BOOK. Candlewick
Press, 2018. $15.99. Content: G.
Dave loves his cave. But… maybe there is something a little better with greener grass and bigger rocks. Dave goes on a hunt for a new cave. Each possibility has something wrong with it. The new caves are either too noisy, not cozy, or have pets that don’t like Dave. The more he hunts for a new home, the less successful he is. Finally Dave finds the PERFECT cave!
Children will thrill to realize that it’s the first cave Dave lived in. This could be a great springboard for discussion about being content with what we have. The story is told in caveman-type language. “Dave like cave. This cave perfect.” The illustrations are unique and fun. Children will love this great book.
Pre-K. EL (K-3). ESSENTIAL. Reviewer: SL.
