Most
children are content to bring a favorite possession or souvenir
from a day out to show and tell, but what happens when one
third grade boy brings his pet? Sounds harmless enough, but
suppose the pet is a pterodactyl…
Mayhem is guaranteed in this fun picture
book as the pet runs rampant in the school. In each class
there are noticeably fewer children, where will it all end?
Children who love dinosaurs will enjoy this one! There is
a lot to look at on each page too, as the hilarious illustrations
show what is going on throughout the day. You can see who
is or isn’t there in each picture and look at the humor
in the details such as the titles on the books or pictures
on the walls. The text rhymes, and there is a line or two
of it on each double page spread making it ideal for young
readers. Anybody worried about the rather carnivorous antics
need not worry; the pterodactyl never looks scary (actually
rather friendly) and what third grader wouldn’t want
such a cool pet! This is a genuinely funny tale, and large
enough to be ideal for sharing with classes or groups. Contemporary
yet timeless, this book is bound to become a favorite with
5-7 year olds.
