Field Guide to the Grumpasaurus

(3) K-3 Meet the Grumpasaurus, "most often seen sulking around the room after a great tragedy or mishap." Oil paintings with tongue-in-cheek annotations reveal the Grumpasaurus as a scowling young dinosaur upset by his teddy bear's loss of a limb. Page backgrounds resemble an anthropologist's lined, spiral-bound notebook, furthering the book-length joke in this gentle, humorous treatment of a child's intense emotions.
