"Like a prehistoric precursor to Abbott and Costello or Laurel and Hardy, Ogg and Bob show the ups and downs of friendship in an age of wooly mammoths and saber-tooth tigers. The books straddle that fine line between early readers and early chapter books, offering very short chapters that still contain a lot of meat and action. Fraser’s art provides just the right tone, Ogg and Bob sporting permanent five-o’clock shadows in spite of their childlike natures. Certainly, it won’t take a mammoth lover to enjoy the hijinks of these sweet, ancient boneheads." Kirkus Reviews
"The colorful cartoon-like illustrations are humorous and effective. This is a good beginning chapter book for young readers." Children’s Literature "Relatively spare text and full-color cartoons, some covering a spread and some full page, will serve reluctant readers well, while in-between readers will pick up on the irony of the sticky situations Ogg and Bob elude. This title may also serve as an out-of-the-ordinary option for fans of graphic novels who are looking for more traditional styling in their next read. It is an amusing tale of two friends and their unusual adventures.” SLJ "Children who have just learned to read will like the format with ink and gouache illustrations on every page, and only a small amount of text."
