Dave loves his cave. But what if there’s a better cave out there, with greener grass and bigger rocks?
Dave loves his cave. The inside is decorated exactly the way he likes it. There’s a spot for a fire and the grass is always green. But what if there’s a better cave out there, with greener grass and bigger rocks? Dave needs to find out for himself. But it turns out that good caves are hard to find—they’re either too noisy, or too spare, or too crowded, until he finds one in particular that looks much more promising. The rocks are big, and the grass is greener than any he’s ever seen . . . but why does it look so familiar? This humorous romp from celebrated author-illustrator Frann Preston-Gannon reminds readers that sometimes there’s no place like home.

From School Library Journal:
PreS-Gr 2—Dave the caveman has a cozy cave that both he and his friends enjoy. Dave decides one day that maybe there is a bigger and better cave out there for him. So, he sets on his quest to find a new home, ultimately learning that the grass is not always greener on the other side. Readers will love this simple yet humorous story. The text is written as if it were narrated by a caveman: "This Dave. This Dave's Cave," so it may not be best for students just learning to read. However, this would be a terrific read-aloud for children. The illustrations are done in various media with bold colors and patterns. Since cavemen have a limited vocabulary, the pictures help bring the story to life by providing vivid details. VERDICT A fun story best used as a read-aloud to give readers a comical example of appreciating what they already have.—Jennifer Bludau, La Grange Independent School District, TX
