Esme And The Sabre-Toothed Cub

When a sabre-toothed cub strolls into Esme’s Stone Age village, she enthusiastically adopts it as her own, and names him Seb.

But when Esme tries to train Seb as her pet, he won’t listen-even when she uses her very loudest voice.

When it becomes clear that Seb doesn’t want to be anyone’s pet, Morris the mammoth wonders-could they all be friends, instead?

Reviews

“With certain similarities to our 21st century world, Simon Philip’s second story of bossy young Esme and her fellow troglodytes is another humorous read aloud, made even more so by Magda Brol’s highly exuberant scenes of this endearing prehistoric community”

— Jill Bennett, Red Reading Hub

“The perfect pairing of author Simon Philip and illustrator Magda Brol work their picture book magic on another comical, cautionary tale about the joys of friendship and the rewards of teamwork…Philip’s big-hearted messages come across loud and clear in a story brimming with youthful joie de vivre while Brol’s bright and energetic illustrations bring the action to glorious life.”

— Pam Norfolk, Lancashire Evening Post
