(4) PS Illustrated by Greg Pizzoli. An interactive read-aloud features a pink dinosaur who loves birthdays, hats, dancing, and painting, but who is also very timid. The direct-address text leads the reader through a number of suggestions ("Go on, say hello") that result in inane mistakes ("Your voice startled him") and occasional silliness. The illustrations are bold and vibrant, but the text often misjudges the reader's responses.
