This un-illustrated book is an alternative to the illustrated version. The advantage with this book is that it has the first six stories in the "Adventures of Neanderthal Bob" series. Whereas, the illustrated version only has three stories, but gives a visual of the stories as they progress. All versions of these stories are great for parents and guardians to read to young children. They are perfect for such people as Child-minders and teachers of your children. These books will continue to be written as I have virtually an endless list of story themes, so please look out for future issues of both versions. I wish all that read them an enjoyable time and hope they teach and inspire people to learn more about the ancient Neanderthal peoples.
