- Grossett & Dunlap, 289 pages, undated,

- All pages clean and tightly bound.
- Minor accumulation of dust/dirt along top edge of pages
From the Grosset & Dunlap dust jacket:
- This thrilling story of prehistoric times follows the adventures of Og of the Hairy People — those brute men who lived pretty much like the ferocious animals around them. It was Og who invented a spear and a bow and arrow with which to fight the great cave leopard, the shaggy bear and the sabre-tooth tiger. And it was Og who made the first canoe — and most important of all, the first fire.
- Gripping and packed with action is this vivid tale of a boy hero who roamed the prehistoric forests hundreds of thousands of years ago.
