Storybook Sharing – Cave Baby

“Cave Baby” is a book by Julia Donaldson and Emily Gravett. This is a lovely story about a cave baby who scribbled his mom’s drawing on the wall and got warning from his dad about a mammoth would come and throw him to the big brown bear.

On the night, a grey mammoth did come and picked the baby from his crib and sent him off through the forest where the cave baby saw tiger, hyena, hare and ended at a cave. The cave baby was so worried that it might be the bear’s cave. However, it’s the mammoth’s cave and the mammoth wanted the cave baby to paint on their bare wall. The cave baby had so much fun as he could paint freely.

When the grey mammoth sent the cave baby back to his cave, the baby sleeps well with all the dreams about all those colourful animals that he had just drawn on the wall.

As the story goes, the children themselves also worried that the mammoth would throw the cave baby to the big brown bear.

This is a very imaginative story about colours.
