Product Details

Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-5-Joe, Sam, and Fred find themselves "absolutely naked" at the outset of this prehistoric adventure. While fans of the previous three books won't be surprised at this somewhat outrageous beginning, it's sure to catch the attention of first-timers. Scieszka's humorous, zippy dialogue and word play, combined with Stone Age icons (a saber-toothed cat; a woolly mammoth; cave paintings; and an interesting and hilarious collection of cavemen, women, and girls), are sure to appeal to readers. References to classic time-travel books-Edward Eager's Half Magic, Madeline L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, and H.G.Wells's The Time Machine- are bound to spur many readers on to other new adventures. This fast-paced, fun story is perfectly matched by Smith's wacky black-and-white illustrations. Another great book from the dynamic duo!-Gale W. Sherman, Pocatello Public Library, ID

From Booklist

Gr. 4-6. Sam, Joe, and Fred, the Time Warp Trio who made their first appearances in Knights of the Kitchen Table (1991) and the Not So Jolly Roger (1991), travel back to the Stone Age and are immediately in trouble. First of all, they don't have "The Book" that enables them to travel in time, and second of all, they're naked. Sam, with a large leaf and a piece of vine, invents clothes--just in time for them to be discovered by "cavegirls." Sam, Joe, and Fred escape (they think) the hostile women, take refuge with men hiding from a saber-toothed tiger, flee a woolly mammoth, and save the day with some simple physics involving a fulcrum and a lever. Scieszka's text is funny and fast, always clever and never cute (OK, naming the cavegirls Nat-Li, Lin-Say, and Jos-Feen is cute, but that's the only part), and Smith's pen-and-ink drawings add a rollicking, somewhat riotous air to the proceedings. This is the kind of book that kids tell one another to read--a surefire hit to the funny bone, whether read alone or aloud. Janice Del Negro --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mostly entertaining, Dec 31 2002
By Linda Picardo (Cambridge, MA) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Time Warp Trio Your Mother Was A Neanderthal (Paperback)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Your Mother was a Neanderthal, Oct 2 2002
By Carolina Guerrero (Floral Park, NY (SHS)) - See all my reviews
Ce commentaire est de: Time Warp Trio Your Mother Was A Neanderthal (Paperback)
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!

4.0 out of 5 stars An amusing sci-fi comedy, Dec 18 2001
By Michael J. Mazza (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Ce commentaire est de: Time Warp Trio Your Mother Was A Neanderthal (Paperback)
"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.
