Summary

Og, son of Og, who was called Son of Fire, because he brought fire to his people (let it now be known), takes the reader on an odyssey, as he escapes from a band of apes to worse disasters before finally reaching home, an older and wiser Cave Boy. Og, for all his youth, might be the Genius of Man embodied, for he solves his problems in an academic way (by wrinkling his primordial brow). 

All the beastly world seems ""determined"" to do him in; even the sabre-toothed tiger attacks with thoughtful purpose. The only creatures who are not out to get him are two wolf cubs that he finds and who immediately become his obedient, loyal, loving, and thoughtful best friends. On the death of one of his ""dogs"" (Og's dad coined the word), he feels a strange new emotion and sheds a tear. Og coolly scoffs at witch doctors and is aghast at the idea of cannibalism. And his ""Hi-yah!"" speech is pure, cultured Cave-Boyese next to that of Crooked Hand, a Flathead, whose ""whoo! Them not friendly people, Og. Them bad fellah,"" sounds like Bora-Bora pidgin via the Lone Ranger's Tonto. 

After living through uncountable terrors, Og cleverly survives an avalanche, and as he is feasting on a find of frozen dinosaur, along comes a group of boys whose bearskins look strangely familiar. Og is home at last. Edgar Rice Burroughs, thou shouldst be living now!

    Teensie has just been struck by lightning and is hearing a strange voice! Join him as he learns about his new-found power and imagines the things he can accomplish with it! 
    A message from Teensie: 
    Being in a tank has its advantages. Primarily, people forget that I’m there. I mean, let’s be realistic for a moment, even when they do remember I’m around, they don’t see me as a threat. 
    I’m just a harmless goldfish. 
    But that’s not my full story. See, I’m more than just a goldfish. I can talk - and the people I talk to can understand me. 
    I live with an amazing family, Melinda and her father, who are doing everything they can do to keep me safe and give me the life I dream about. 
    Melinda has her books, and I have mine. This is my side of the story. In Tales From the Tank you’ll hear about what actually goes on in the Longers' home, and out in the community! 
    Come with me, and let me take you underwater to experience the adventure my way! 
    From Porsche Ray: 
    This short story is Season 1: Episode 1 of Tales From the Tank - short stories that take place within the full-size novels. Season 1 matches up with Book 1 of the MELINDA series, “Melinda and Her Father Go Scuba Diving". 
    These stories contain bonus content NOT included in the novels, but the storyline does run parallel to what you will see in the larger books. 
    Like all books in the MELINDA series, the content is safe, fun, and absolutely age-appropriate.

    This abridgement of the first novel in The Once and Future King, the tale of King Arthur and the rise and fall of Camelot, is specifically aimed at 7–12 year olds. It concentrates on the early years of Arthur, leading to his proclamation as king. White elaborated imaginatively on the legend giving strong personalities to the main characters – as well as animals! Neville Jason (who read the unabridged War and Peace for Naxos AudioBooks) gives another strong reading.
