Illustrated by
Nick Bruel.
Although pterodactyls and apatosauruses generally dislike each other, young Nosy the pterodactyl and Banty the apatosaurus become best friends, challenging their parents' prejudices as well. When a T. Rex terrorizes the neighborhood, the two hatch a plan to get rid of him. The story, illustrated with lively black-and-white cartoons, doesn't let its message overshadow the plot.
