Inch and Grub: A Story About Cavemen

In picture books, Alastair Chisholm and David Roberts collaborate on Inch and Grub, a consumerist caveman caper that sees the titular Stone Agers competing to acquire possessions, from fire and chairs to phones and computers, until disaster strikes. The blissful wit of Roberts’s illustrations combines to strong effect with Chisholm’s restrained text. * The Guardian *
