It's Show and Tell, Dexter!

32 pp. | Amazon/Two Lions | July, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-1-5039-0137-7 $17.99
(3) K-3 Jack's orange toy dinosaur Dexter (Don't Forget Dexter!) is wracked with anxiety as Show-and-Tell Day looms at Jack's school: Is he cool enough? Dexter frantically experiments with various costumes and performances, responding directly to the reader's implied criticisms. Ultimately, Dexter makes a splash by being himself. The conversational text and ink, colored-pencil, and cut-paper art capture a common worry with humor and reassurance.
