Watching a winged dinosaur upend the school from classroom to cafeteria is likely every kid's dream, and will go over in a big way here.

They just do. Get used to it.

I think children will enjoy the illustrations and the simple story line. It even has a few moments that made me laugh out loud. We give it 5 paws up." --Leslie, https: //storeybookreviews.com<br><br>"I think what children will really like about this book are the big, bold, and colorful illustrations that show the playfulness of the Pterodactyl as it carries on its day completely oblivious to the chaos it is creating. They'll be amused from cover to cover. Dinosaur-loving kids will surely love this book. It's a funny and sneakily educational tale making it a great book for school and home bookshelves." --Christa McGrath, <i>http: //edwardsbookclub.com</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Thad Krasnesky</b> is a writer of children's stories trapped in the body of an army major.
