"The Stone Age father and son of Cave Dada (2020) are back, and this time Dada must produce an egg for his child’s breakfast. Or else. . . . Reese’s illustrations are just as hilarious as in the duo’s first outing, combining single- and double-page spreads with comic panels to trace the emotional roller coaster that parenting sometimes is. . . . Facial expressions are masterful. . . Wonder what these two will 'invent' next?"
