It’s Dinosaur’s first day of school and his usual big, toothy dinosaur smile is gone.

So begins the story of Dinosaur’s fear and a young boy’s attempts to help him overcome it. No matter what scenario Dinosaur thinks of to avoid going to school, his friend has an answer to solve his dilemma. This is a great book to read the first few days of school to beginning Kindergarten students or to a small group of young students new to the school. With amusing illustrations and clever text, young students will immediately become a part of the story and give their own impressions of what happens when beginning school.
