In this funny follow-up to Dave's Cave, two lovable cavemen endeavor to make their rocks the very best they can — inventing, in the process, something rather remarkable.

Dave loves his rock. Jon loves his rock, too. The two buddies compete over whose rock is biggest, fastest, prettiest, and tallest. When they discover that granite has so much more potential than its natural state, the two friends begin to chisel new shapes, tossing and playing games with their now-rounded rocks. But their woodland friends have other (genius) ideas for how to use these new shapes — as circles with holes in the middle. Anyone up for a ride?

Editorial Reviews

Review

Cavemen compare rocks, try to top each other, finally invent fun game...it's salutary to see an escalating conflict resolved in an amicable, even creative way, and a bit of wordless byplay in which a set of forest creatures invent a wheeled scooter with the discarded game pieces adds a droll finish. The diagrams the animals draw in the dirt make an especially funny counterpoint to the dialogue. With ingenuity and good will, sticks and stones can be turned to better uses than breaking bones—but the tale demands readers who are patient with cavespeak.
—Kirkus Reviews

4.0 out of 5 stars Dave like rock...
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2019
Dave has a rock. He loves his rock. But then he notices Jon has a rock too. The two cavemen try to best each other by having bigger rocks (a mountain) or prettier rocks (actually a turtle). Finally the friends realize they can transform the rocks into something that's fun for both of them. With short, grammatically questionable sentences and digital collage illustrations that provide a strong sense of action and depth, this is a great fit for primary readers looking for something humorous. It would also work well as a class read aloud that could lead to valuable discussions about jealousy and problem solving.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dave's Rock Rocks
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2019
Caveman Dave is back in DAVE’S ROCK. This time Dave has a rock. He also has a friend named Jon and Jon has a rock, too. Dave and Jon get in a competition with their rocks. They eventually have a fight, make up, and end up inventing something completely unique and new. Kids will probably really love this book and end up saying “DAVE’S ROCK rocks!”

This is another short children's book from Frann. It's very fun, and very happy. I enjoy reading this to our son, and often find myself laughing as well. Definitely recommended because it's a kind, gentle and friendly book.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 27, 2018

Dave's Rock is pretty good but I think if I hadn't read Dave's Cave first I might not have liked it quite as much. Having said that there are some funny side plots going in the pictures. I think the words are nicely printed and the pictures are really good. I'd recommend reading Dave's Cave first because in my opinion that is the better book.

I think these books would be good for people learning to read, the text works very well with the pictures. Both books are very good if what you are after is a simple little story. I have both, I like Dave's Rock but I love Dave's Cave.
