Dad and the Dinosaur

40 pp. | Putnam | March, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-24353-0 $17.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Dan Santat. Nick's toy dinosaur helps him with his fears. After a soccer game in which he scores (with the dinosaur's help), his talisman gets lost. Nick confides his problem to his dad, who takes him back to the field and helps him find it. The boy-friendliness of the text is matched by robust paintings that give the toy dinosaur life--and heft!--as it appears super-dino-style as needed.
