Illustrated by
Adrian Reynolds.
In this story that walks a fine line between fantasy and realism, Sammy finds a box of dinosaurs in the attic and decides to fix and clean them. Sammy and the mischievous dinosaurs become inseparable (they never speak loudly enough for anyone but Sammy to hear), and their mutual affection is clear in joyfully expressive drawings. The story is beautifully written and always right on target.
