Your Mother Was a Neanderthal (Time Warp Trio, 4)

Rating:
Summary: An amusing sci-fi comedy
Review: "Your Mother Was a Neanderthal," by Jon Scieszka, is a young adult novel in the "Time Warp Trio" series. The book features illustrations by Lane Smith. The story is narrated by Joe, a young schoolboy. With the aid of a magic book, he and his pals Sam and Fred travel back to prehistoric times. They have an adventure involving primitive humans and dangerous prehistoric beasts.

This is a humorous story that is nicely complemented by Smith's surreal, funny drawings. The prehistoric characters are amusing and likeable, and the three "modern" heroes have an entertaining chemistry. Overall, a pretty good adventure.

Summary: Read it and laugh!
Review: as I couldn't stop doing at the typically boyish descriptions of the misadventures of the Time Warp Trio in this little volume. The jokes may be juvenile, but they're not too juvenile for middle-aged me, and I was perfectly willing to read the whole book to my children for the sake of their (completely satisfactory) reaction to a joke about cooked meat.

Rating:
Summary: Mostly entertaining
Review: Overall, this was a pretty good book, but it doesn't match Knights of the Kitchen Table and Sam Samurie for Time Warp Trio fun. While it was entertaining to watch them run from the girls, hide from the sabertooth, etc., it was hard to believe that they were in any danger. The dialogue was often witty, but the plot a little thin which took away from the adventure. If you've read the other Time Warp Trio books, then you should read this one, but if you've never enjoyed the adventures of Fred, Sam and Joe you should try one of the better ones first.

Also recommended - King Fortis the Brave - probably the best young adult fantasy book to come out since the Chronicles of Narnia were published.

Summary: Your Mother was a Neanderthal
Review: The book that I'm reading is Your Mother Was a Neanderthal by Jon Scieszka. This book is very interesting and mysterious. It's all about going through time and seeing what life was like in the past. The part I like best is when they find the Neanderthal, but you'll have to find that out yourself. Anyone who likes to read fantasy should get this book. It makes you feel like your really there and this is no joke. I'm sure you will agree with me but that's your decision to make.

This is a very good book for all ages even for adults and theirs a series too! Try the books that are The Time Warp Trio. Some other books you might want to try are Summer Reading Is Killing Me, 2095, and It's All Greek To Me! I have read mostly all of the series of the Time Warp Trio books and I'm still trying to finish it up. Try the best you can a getting these books and I hope you enjoy them!

Review: The Time Warp Trio (Fred, Sam and Joe) find heart-stoppingadventure when they end up in the days of the caveman. Cleverword-play keeps the reader laughing and the non-stop adventure keeps the pages turning. Another fun and highly entertaining book in the Time Warp Trio series. Jon Scieszka combines adventure, history, fantasy and humor in a compelling format that even reluctant readers will find hard to put down.

Summary: Review For "Your Mother Was A Neanderthal" Book
Review: This book is about 3 young boys go back in time all the way to the stoneage. Itmay seem like a fun adventure to the time warp trio, but they run into a lot of trouble along the way including a tribe of hostile cavewomen, a saber-toothed tiger, a bone rattling earthquake, and a wooley mammoth who wants to crush them. But the biggest problem is they depend on "The Book" to get them back from their little adventures but how can they get back home when writing has'nt been invented yet? Find out what happens to the time warp trio by reading this book that has comedy, adventure, and magic.
