Dad and the Dinosaur
Written by Gennifer Choldenko                   
Illustrated by Dan Santat

Ages:  5 - 8                                         
​
Grade level:  K – 3


This book just became a favorite, and it’s the perfect choice for Father’s Day!  Big Nick isn’t afraid of anything, but little Nick is.  Thanks to a toy dinosaur, he can climb rock walls and score soccer goals.  Life is good till the dinosaur disappears on the soccer field.  Fear devours Nick.  He can’t eat or sleep.  Then Dad gets home, knows something’s wrong, and gets Nick to talk.  It may be dark, but the Nicks return to the soccer field.  The back cover sums up this book, and great fathers— “DADS GET IT.  THEY JUST GET IT.”  This Father’s Day, thanks to all the dads who get it.  And fix it.

    Whenever I read or write, I find a comfy chair with a great view.  I get my favorite drink, stretch out, and let the words take me away.
