(2) PS Illustrated by Adrian Reynolds. In this story originally published as Sammy and the Dinosaurs, a boy finds a box of toy dinosaurs in the attic. He and the mischievous dinosaurs become inseparable (they never speak loudly enough for anyone but the boy to hear), and their mutual affection is clear in joyfully expressive drawings. Alternately humorous and poignant, the story is always right on target.
