Why read it?

1 author picked Dino Deegan and the Unpleasant Class as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A great book with a wonderful message and beautiful illustrations by Dr. Robyn.

The book takes place in prehistoric times and has fun dino details on every page. The main character, Dino Deegan, has trouble making friends, but goes through a transformation throughout the story which is very cleverly visualized as he changes colors at the end.

This should be a classroom tool to teach children about friendship, being kind, and including others in the fun.

From Kim's list on for dinosaur fans.
