Reader Engagement Project:
The Book
Meet Orq, cave boy. And Woma, woolly mammoth. Orq love Woma. Only one problem: Mom is not a fan of Woma, who sheds and smells and is definitely not cave-trained. How can Orq convince his mother that Woma belongs with them? Orq has a plan to get Woma back in the cave…A satisfying story about friendship and loyalty, filled with humor and heart.
“…it’s going to be a huge hit at storytimes in bookstores, schools, and libraries. And I’m pretty sure every family I hand it to will read this one again and again and again…” —Elizabeth Bluemle, Publishers Weekly’s ShelfTalker
