About this title

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:

Grade 1–3—Ogg and Bob, two cavemen with a pet mammoth, like food, rocks, and mud, but not baths, and definitely not saber-toothed tigers. The book is a series of vignettes that includes an introduction to the characters and stories revolving around hygiene, creating cave art, and a debate over the mammoth's best friend. The author attempts to use "caveman-speak" throughout the story; unfortunately, there are jarring instances of the dialogue slipping into normal speech. The illustrations are colorful; in the first chapter, they provide visual jokes for readers as Mug the Mammoth tries to hide. This easy chapter book is mildly humorous and likely to appeal to fans of slapstick, but it's not essential for most collections.—Nicole Waskie-Laura, Chenango Forks Elementary, Binghamton, NY
