Harry and the Dinosaurs Say "Raahh!"
PreSchool-Grade 1--Harry and his bucketful of dinosaurs are back for another adventure. The child is only a little scared about going to see the dentist, but his toys are all hiding. Once there, Harry is hesitant to hop up on the big chair, so Dr. Drake suggests that one of the dinosaurs takes a ride on it first. When Tyrannosaurus is seated, Harry pushes a magic button on his bucket that makes the dinosaur life-sized. A loud "RAAAAHH!" from the dinosaur sends Dr. Drake out of the room, but when he returns, Harry feels safe enough to have his teeth examined. Harry's mother rewards him with a trip to the library following the highly successful dentist appointment. The clear, bright, oversized illustrations bring children directly into Harry's world. All of the pictures are full-bleed spreads and are warm, accessible, and realistic. The simple text flows easily and the pacing is right on for younger listeners.--Wendy Woodfill, Hennepin County Library, Minnetonka, MNCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
