Dirk is a Stone-Age caveboy, but he's not very good at it. He's horrible at both hunting and gathering; no good at flint-knapping; and is always making mistakes of mammoth proportions. Even with his new pet wolf-cub Tickles at his side, every new attempt to save the day always ends up with Dirk at rock bottom - but he's definitely on to something with his new brilliant inventions! What could go possibly go wrong? Chucklers is a series of funny novels, short stories, anthologies and comics that make reading a pleasure for 7-11 year olds.
