J.P. and the Bossy Dinosaur

32 pp. | Whitman | March, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-3981-1 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Erica Sirotich. These stories star J.P., a young kid dealing with big feelings. J.P. pretends to be a brave shark to overcome his fears (Octopus). Being a happy dinosaur (Bossy) helps avert a melt-down. He imagines he's a "fun monkey" to cope with anger (Polka-Dotted Aliens). Cheery cartoon illustrations bring J.P.'s pretend world to life and give a boost to the by-the-numbers stories. Review covers these titles: J.P. and the Bossy Dinosaur, J.P. and the Giant Octopus, and J.P. and the Polka-Dotted Aliens.
