Edwards, Pamela Duncan & Allwright, Deborah. Dinosaur starts school, Park Ridge, Ill. : Albert Whitman, 2009.
Pamela Duncan Edwards presents another charming story about a young dinosaur who overcomes his fears with the help of his little boy. Dinosaur feels daunted about his first day at school and loses his big, toothy dinosaur smile. He doesn't understand why he has to go to school, he is unsure about speaking up and saying his name, and what if he doesn't like what they serve for lunch! Dinosaur is comforted by his little boy's answers. At the end of his first day Dinosaur has made a new friend and loves school. Deborah Allwright's illustrations complement the measured tone of the text with an exciting visual style. Her brightly coloured illustrations create movement with sweeping pathways and groups of happy ragamuffin children. (Age 4-7 years , Theme - Facing our fears)
