Edwards, Pamela Duncan & Allwright, Deborah. Dinosaur sleepover, London : Macmillan, 2010.
Pamela Duncan Edwards' picture book is a heart-warming account of a young dinosaur's first sleepover party. Gripped with anxiety about spending the night away from home Dinosaur thinks of reasons why he can't go: his family will be worried, he needs his toothbrush and fresh pyjamas, and how can he fall asleep without his teddy? But Dinosaur is gently reassured by his little boy and together they find that sleepovers are exciting and enjoyable. The author's voice is warm and friendly which matches the story and suburban setting. The illustrations are an important element and Deborah Allwright presents humorous illustations full of colour and movement. (Age 5 to 7 years, Themes - Overcoming anxiety and facing fears)
