New York Times Book Review People Find Good Books This Year, Story And Truth.
Big Cave-Scribe Clan, very smart ones from far-away land, make big announcement! Every sun-cycle, many new stories come on rock-scrolls and paint-skins. Some tell truth, like "How to Catch Fast Hare." Some tell make-up tales, like "Why Sky God Roar." It much hard work to know which ones good, which ones bad for cave-person to hear.
But Big Cave-Scribe Clan do hard work for all! They look at every new story, much careful. Now, they shout loud, saying which are the very best stories of this sun-cycle. They pick top truth-tales and top make-up stories. This helps many cave-people, so they know which story-rocks to bring back to cave-fire for listening. Much good brain-food for tribe!
Unga, berry gatherer: "Me like when Big Clan picks. So many stories! Me not know which one make tummy feel good. Now me know best ones to hear around fire!"
Zog, young rock-carver: "Sometimes me think their choices boring. Me like stories with much fighting and big beasts. Not always what Big Clan pick."
Elder Korg, Wise-Man of Fire-Cave Council: "Good stories make our tribe strong. These smart scribes help us find the wisdom of old, and the dreams of new. We listen to their picks with open ears and open minds."
