Commenter: Alan, grade 4

Lovers of dinosaurs will adore this quick, fun early reader! Perfect for kids who like to wiggle when they read, each page has dinosaurs doing things that kids can do right along with them (hopping, flopping, twirling, and twisting are some of the actions). This is a simple early reader with only a couple words on each page, but it would also make a wonderful read aloud for younger kids. (Reading Level: 1.0)

Able to read and write at only a second grade level, sixth-grader Sam considers himself dumb. But feeling stupid is no simple matter. Like digging for treasure, there's no telling what you might find going on inside someone's head.
