About this book
Thorn and Pineknot live with their parents, Strongarm and Burr, in a limestone cave thousands of years ago. Their days mix games, meals cooked over a fire and sudden encounters with wild animals. When a bear interrupts the family's meal, Strongarm drives it away, and Thorn later scratches its likeness onto a piece of stone. Margaret A. McIntyre uses these small scenes to introduce young readers to an imagined Stone Age household.
Thorn's grandfather, Flint, provides another kind of adventure through his work as a toolmaker. At the stone yard and gravel pit, the boy watches flint being shaped and learns how stone, shells, amber, food and skins are exchanged. The simple dialogue links family life with practical discoveries, from making an arrow to explaining the first spear.
