What a fun book to read about history。 Even though it a graphic novel but full of informative information。 We're taken back to an ancient time when it tells a story about a caveman and their clan。 It helps us to know more about their lifestyle， how they can survive in that era， how do they sew clothes， what do they eat and etc。 Each chapter will be provided with true facts and also interactive infographic。 Suitable for key stage 2 and above。 What a fun book to read about history。 Even though it a graphic novel but full of informative information。 We're taken back to an ancient time when it tells a story about a caveman and their clan。 It helps us to know more about their lifestyle， how they can survive in that era， how do they sew clothes， what do they eat and etc。 Each chapter will be provided with true facts and also interactive infographic。 Suitable for key stage 2 and above。 。。。more

I object to the pronunciation of "Neanderthal" that goes "knee-and-ur-tall" because the neanderthals were not very tall， and this makes it seem like maybe they were。 I propose a new version: "Knee-and-ur-not-so-tall。" I object to the pronunciation of "Neanderthal" that goes "knee-and-ur-tall" because the neanderthals were not very tall， and this makes it seem like maybe they were。 I propose a new version: "Knee-and-ur-not-so-tall。" 。。。more

This is okay！ The idea is creative and I learned a lot about Neanderthals。 It is funny enough， but I found it a little slow and boring for what I was expecting， and if I did， I am not sure if kids will also stick with it。

I like the Neanderthal science - it was really interesting and I learned a lot。 The story itself is cute but not anything super special。 More like a comic strip。 I did like the History of Neanderthals at the end。 Any list that includes Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer is a winner in my book！ “I’m just a caveman。 I fell in some ice and was found by your scientists。 Your world scares and confuses me。 I don’t know all the rules but I do know one thing: my client did not run over her husband。” 😂

This was actually pretty funny。 Not always historically accurate， but back matter does discuss where the comic goes off script （Neanderthals did not keep pet cats， for instance）。 I was a little thrown that they kept referring to "humans" as different from Neanderthals， but they did refer to both as "people。" It basically boils down to a goofy sibling story with moody teenagers， mischievous kids and a toddler who always takes his pants off。 It's a nice one to share with a kid because you the adul This was actually pretty funny。 Not always historically accurate， but back matter does discuss where the comic goes off script （Neanderthals did not keep pet cats， for instance）。 I was a little thrown that they kept referring to "humans" as different from Neanderthals， but they did refer to both as "people。" It basically boils down to a goofy sibling story with moody teenagers， mischievous kids and a toddler who always takes his pants off。 It's a nice one to share with a kid because you the adult can do most of the reading while your kiddo voices a kid or two。 。。。more

Anyone who can seamlessly mesh entertainment with education is a genius。 Jeffrey Brown is a genius！ I'm astonished at how much I learned from Lucy and Andy Neanderthal。 While I enjoyed all the character interaction， I couldn't wait to get to the end of each chapter where our two character scientists discussed what has been discovered about Neanderthals and the earliest humans。 It's a good reminder of where we came from and what these individuals had to do to survive。 It makes my problems seem tr Anyone who can seamlessly mesh entertainment with education is a genius。 Jeffrey Brown is a genius！ I'm astonished at how much I learned from Lucy and Andy Neanderthal。 While I enjoyed all the character interaction， I couldn't wait to get to the end of each chapter where our two character scientists discussed what has been discovered about Neanderthals and the earliest humans。 It's a good reminder of where we came from and what these individuals had to do to survive。 It makes my problems seem trivial。 This a graphic novel for anyone at any age， and I highly recommend it！ 。。。more

I like that it's a combination of fiction and non-fiction， with facts about neanderthals and funny characters。 My favorite character？ I don't really have one。 They all have things that I like about them and things I don't like about them。 I especially don't like Phil because he's a bit of a jerk and makes fun of Andy。 I like that it's a combination of fiction and non-fiction， with facts about neanderthals and funny characters。 My favorite character？ I don't really have one。 They all have things that I like about them and things I don't like about them。 I especially don't like Phil because he's a bit of a jerk and makes fun of Andy。 。。。more

situaciones absurdas， comentarios irónicos y bromas que predominan en la historia haciendo de la lectura un pasatiempo agradable。Los personajes protagonistas conforman un grupo de lo más variopinto cuyas relaciones， bien construidas e hiladas， hacen disfrutar de la obra。 De entre todos destaca Lucy que es inteligente， ocurrente y práctica， como así lo demuestra con sus reflexiones， ideas y comentarios， y por ello no termina de encajar del todo con los demás。 Andy es el miembro más torpe， inmaduro y cobardica， aunque trate de aparentar lo contrario， lucha por el amor de Margaret， otra joven de la tribu pasota y rebelde， y se enfrenta constantemente a Phil， un adolescente que trata de burlarse de él y dejarlo en evidencia。 A ellos se les une un padre despreocupado， una madre protectora， un bebé aventurero y un anciano que finge que no lo es。 En conjunto， un atípico grupo en el que cada uno adopta un rol y será protagonista de una u otra forma de estas alocadas aventuras。El dibujo de los personajes， y la estética en general， es muy sencillo， no posee grandes detalles ni elementos recargados， más bien transmite la sensación de una imagen limpia cuyo foco recae en la idea que se trabaja。 Tanto los movimientos como las expresiones de los personajes están muy bien logradas y consiguen recrear la comicidad que lleva adscrita la novela gráfica。 Del mismo modo， a pesar de que el vestuario y estilo de los personajes sea bastante actualizado， los fondos consiguen contextualizar bien el ambiente y transmitir el espacio rústico， salvaje y natural en el que se movían。Al término de la obra propiamente dicha el autor incluye una serie de páginas en donde amplía de forma más detallada datos relacionadas con los primeros encuentros de huesos， yacimientos neandertales e investigaciones。 También， presenta algunos museos en el mundo en donde poder visitar elementos de este periodo histórico， explica los elementos anacrónicos y ficticios incorporados en la trama， así como una cronología de los primates。 Finalmente， el autor hace su cameo en un pequeño sketch en el que transmite al lector las motivaciones e inspiraciones que le llevaron a plasmar todo lo que ha aprendido sobre este grupo primitivo。Personalmente he disfrutado muchísimo con esta novela gráfica con la que he aprendido， recordado algunos datos que había olvidado y， sobre todo， con la que he pasado un rato de lo más agradable riendo sin parar con estos locos neandertales。Considero que "Lucy y Andy neandertal" es una obra magnifica y bien escrita que recopila de forma divertida una parte de la prehistoria y que ofrece a los más pequeños una nueva forma de aprender al mismo tiempo que se divierte， se sienten identificados y disfrutan con este grupo de lo más particular。Lo recomiendo especialmente para los primeros cursos de primaria y como lectura necesaria en cualquier biblioteca infantil 。。。more

Lucy and Andy are siblings sometime waaaaay BC。 They are not quite humans as we know them， but rather Neanderthals， though their family and clan have hilariously modern names and attitudes to match。 Andy begs his dad to participate in a mammoth hunt， only to later regret seeing the violent spectacle。 Lucy is easily the smartest of the group， but is constantly overlooked in spite of her great ideas。 The dialog is full of humor， and between chapters a couple of scientists （anthropologists？ paleont Lucy and Andy are siblings sometime waaaaay BC。 They are not quite humans as we know them， but rather Neanderthals， though their family and clan have hilariously modern names and attitudes to match。 Andy begs his dad to participate in a mammoth hunt， only to later regret seeing the violent spectacle。 Lucy is easily the smartest of the group， but is constantly overlooked in spite of her great ideas。 The dialog is full of humor， and between chapters a couple of scientists （anthropologists？ paleontologists？） interject with facts about what life may have truly been like in a Neanderthal clan。 This was so interesting， and totally funny！ 。。。more

I liked this graphic novel， it was a quick read for me and I love the way the Neanderthal family was structured so that it was realistic in ways like， siblings annoy each other， baby always looses his pants， and that had picky eaters。 Overall I bought it was a pretty good book and I am starting the second one tonight！

This is something that I had picked up for our Homeschool library。 I picked it up because I thought that this would be a good way to explore life in this time period。 And I think that I am right。 This is not a novel， it is a black and white graphic novel。 It is funny， easy to read with asides that give you more information about the time period。 I think that this will be a great introduction to the time period。 If you have enjoyed Brown's other work （The Jedi Academy， Darth Vader and Son etc。。。） This is something that I had picked up for our Homeschool library。 I picked it up because I thought that this would be a good way to explore life in this time period。 And I think that I am right。 This is not a novel， it is a black and white graphic novel。 It is funny， easy to read with asides that give you more information about the time period。 I think that this will be a great introduction to the time period。 If you have enjoyed Brown's other work （The Jedi Academy， Darth Vader and Son etc。。。） than I think that you will enjoy this -even if you're not going to use it for homeschool。 。。。more

This book was very good。 I think that it had a great story line and I loved the style of comics in it。 I think that it would have been better without the caveman facts in between the different chapeters。 I think that it was not realistic because， there were no cave men and woman。 That is why I rate it three out of five stars。

Lucy & Andy Neanderthal is a funny story about a family navigating life in the Stone Age。 It is told in the form of a graphic novel through fun and simplistic drawings。 It would be great to read in a 4th or 5th grade classroom when teaching students about the Stone Age because there are facts about that time period and what is included in the novel in between each chapter。 It could also be used for students who are reluctant readers since there are pictures on every page。 Students can compare an Lucy & Andy Neanderthal is a funny story about a family navigating life in the Stone Age。 It is told in the form of a graphic novel through fun and simplistic drawings。 It would be great to read in a 4th or 5th grade classroom when teaching students about the Stone Age because there are facts about that time period and what is included in the novel in between each chapter。 It could also be used for students who are reluctant readers since there are pictures on every page。 Students can compare and contrast differences from the world we live in today and how things were a long time ago。 。。。more

Lucy and Andy Neanderthal are brother and sister who are trying to navigate their life of being cavemen。 This graphic novel is broken up into different adventures that Lucy and Andy go through together in a day and life of living in a cave。 This graphic novel shows the ups and downs of a sibling relationship as well as the humorous side of navigating life through nature and a cave。 I would recommend this book to grades 3-5。
