About the Author
Ian Fraser lives in San Luis Obispo, California and created the Ogg and Bob stories with his mother, illustrator Mary Ann Fraser.
Mary Ann Fraser has a lot of plates in the air. She is the award winning author/illustrator of over sixty fiction and non-fiction books for children and visits schools and libraries around the country to “cook up stories”. For relaxation she can be found out in the garden submitting to the whims of nature , plein aire painting, hiking, or playing her hammered dulcimer. She’s a rehabilitated soccer mom, damage control specialist (thanks to three sons), and likes to eat more than cook but does plenty of both.
From School Library Journal
Gr 2-4–Cavemen Ogg and Bob speak in simplified speech patterns, aren't real bright, dress like the Flintstones, and live in a cave. Ogg wants a pet, and, under their circumstances, a mammoth is the default choice. Through dumb luck, and little skill, they manage to capture one, escape the jaws of a Saber-tooth Tiger, and “train” their newly acquired pet–all in one day. Despite their shenanigans, these characters learn that having a pet isn't all fun and games, but a real responsibility. Relatively spare text and full-color cartoons, some covering a spread and some full page, will serve reluctant readers well, while in-between readers will pick up on the irony of the sticky situations Ogg and Bob elude. This title may also serve as an out-of-the-ordinary option for fans of graphic novels who are looking for more traditional styling in their next read. It is an amusing tale of two friends and their unusual adventures, but the clipped style of dialogue might confuse emerging readers (“‘Me climb down,' said Bob”; “‘Me name him Bob!' said Ogg.” “‘How we train Mug?' asked Bob.”Lindsay Persohn, Crystal Lake Elementary, Lakeland, FL
