Meet the Mudcrusts! Lowbrow Mudcrust is the lumbering, lazy head of the

family, who is happiest when he is squelching his toes in the slime.

That doesn't stop his wife Flora from nagging him and reminding him

that he's not the chief of the tribe. Their two children, Bogweed and

Fungus, are always fighting. Although Fungus doesn't have Bogweed's

brute strength, he is does have more brains.

The third book in the Mudcrusts series, inMonstrous Mammoths we

discover that the problems of the Mudcrusts are not over yet. They've

escaped the destruction of their hut and battled against sabre-toothed

tigers, but there's more trouble in store.
