Daryl loves the dinosaur book he checked out from the library; it
takes him on roaring, stomping dinosaur adventures! But when Daryl has
to return it, he'll do anything to get his favorite book back.
"A splendid story about the satisfaction that comes from sharing joy
(and dinosaurs) with others."--Booklist
"Emotions run high in this volume about a child's deep attachment
giving way to sharing... Elbee's take on the emotional attachment that
readers form with books feels apt, and a final portrait of Daryl
discovering that books can be shared pays ample tribute to libraries."
-- Publishers Weekly
"The book's fun illustrations emphasize Daryl's big and scary
emotions, including distress, grumpiness, rage, and despair; solace is
to be found only somewhere unexpected: in sharing."--Foreward
Reviews
Daryl loves to play with his favorite library book about dinosaurs. His
imagination takes him to prehistoric places, and he pretends to be a
triceratops, microraptor, and even a T. rex! But Daryl does not
want to share his book, so when he has to return it to the library,
Daryl goes wild. Using all of his dinosaur skills, Daryl tries his best
to get his book back! But when a clever librarian notices Daryl's
passion, she encourages him to share his favorite book and make some new
friends along the way. This playful, silly, funny, tale about reading,
books, and sharing is sure to be a hit with any child.
