I bought this book for my nephew but, I wanted to keep it.
I bought this book for my nephew but, I wanted to keep it. The drawings and story are terrific. Yes, it contains a lesson about treating others well and the dinosaur learns that being mistreated herself didn't feel good. But, it's not preachy and much of the humor will be funny to adults. I bought books for each of the nieces and nephews and for the children of a friend. I love starting home libraries to encourage the kids to learn. So I take the time to research books. I look for stories that aren't saccharine sweet, that teach lessons including (for the babies) colors, shapes, counting, objects, that get the kids involved (look for the one called My Book About Me), that help them learn to read, etc. I write a note to each child in a few of the books. I know I'm off topic at this point. Please do get this book. It's sweet and funny and manages not to preach.
