Illustrated by
Leslie Elizabeth Watts.
Frustrated and angry that her father is too busy working to play with her, Emily creates a ravenous snow dinosaur in her backyard. Grizzle grows as Emily feeds her more and more and more. When Dad finally comes outside, Emily must save him from Grizzle. The text is wordy and purposeful, but the illustrations effectively convey Emily's shifting emotions.
