Littlenose
Littlenose the Joker
Littlenose lives long, long, ago, when fierce wild animals roam the land, and it is very cold. His home is a cave, his clothes are made of fur, and his pet is a woolly mammoth called Two-Eyes.
It is Crocus Day—the Neanderthal version of April Fools’ Day—and Littlenose has plenty of tricks up his sleeve. How long will his tribe tolerate his mischievous antics? These five stories feature all the chaos Littlenose can handle, including a wild forest bull on the rampage; an invasion of mammoths; and a new pet for this precocious caveboy: Squeaky the mouse. Whether he's tricking his cousins, dealing with a herd of woolly mammoths, or playing with his new pet mouse, you can always count on Littlenose to have a good joke up his sleeve!

About the author
John Grant
61 books3 followersLibrarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.
John Grant is a Scottish author and illustrator, possibly best known as the author of the Littlenose series of children's stories, which he read on the BBC's Jackanory in 55 programmes from 1968 to 1986.
As a student, Grant earned extra cash illustrating learned academic papers and designing menus, toast lists and illuminated addresses, and during National Service he drew cartoons for the official army magazine Soldier.
He originally invented Littlenose to entertain his children, but failed to find a publisher until BBC commissioned him to both write and present his stories of a little Neanderthal boy who was always getting into trouble. These proved a great success, and he went on to write and illustrate over 13 Littlenose books between 1968 and 1993.
