Illustrated by
Britta Teckentrup.
Because of his nearsightedness, Bumpy the Apatosaurus gets into some hairy situations; he falls into a bog, walks across an active volcano, and snuggles up next to a big T. Rex. Bumpy's family comes to the rescue and then solves his vision problem. Though unfocused and awkwardly paced, the writing succeeds with its likable characters, and the flat, cartoonish collage illustrations complement the text with their humor.
