The Mine-O-Saur

(4) K-3 Illustrated by David Clark. The Mine-o-saur's greediness gains him toys, blocks, and snacks but alienates him from the other dinosaurs in his class. A dose of the cold shoulder helps him see he'd rather have friends than stuff. The text alternates between prose and Mine-o-saur's rhyming tirades. The energetic, colorful illustrations may distract readers from the all-too-apparent message: greed is bad, sharing good.
