(4) K-3 Illustrated by Debbie Tilley. On the first day of school, Lizard Walinsky (a dinosaur-loving tomboy) is devastated when she discovers that her new best friend Spider (a dinosaur/insect lover) attends a different school. But she soon befriends classmate Samantha who complements her and Spider's sensibility. Despite awkward pacing, Baker's story has personality and charm, as do Tilley's colorful illustrations.
