Children's author Dav Pilkey is sorry for "harmful racial stereotypes and passively racist imagery".
The book, titled The Adventures of Ook and Gluk: Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future, was first published in 2010.
In a statement, Pilkey said it was meant to "showcase diversity, equality, and non-violent conflict-resolution".
But he said he now realised it was "wrong and harmful" to Asian people.
"I hope that you, my readers, will forgive me, and learn from my mistake that even unintentional and passive stereotypes and racism is harmful to everyone," the US author wrote in a statement on YouTube.
"I apologise, and I pledge to do better."
Publisher Scholastic said it would attempt to remove the book from library and school shelves as well as shops. | |
