Alley Oop and the Hunt for the Texas Pterosaurs #[nn]

Dave Graue's prehistoric caveman hero is front and center on this delightful 2022 collection, shown riding a wide-eyed blue pterosaur while dangling a small orange creature on a makeshift fishing-pole lasso to steer the beast — a companion clinging to the creature's back for dear life. It's a wonderfully absurd image that captures everything charming about Alley Oop: big personality, bigger prehistoric animals, and a hero who tackles the impossible with a grin. If you've ever wanted to watch a caveman wrangle flying reptiles over Texas, this is exactly the book for you.
