About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is transitioning into longer chapter books and needs a high interest, fast paced story to build their reading stamina. It is particularly effective for children who are navigating the boundary between pretend play and real world independence, as it mirrors the thrill of discovery with the responsibility of looking out for others. The story follows young explorers who find a secret gateway to a world where dinosaurs still roam, focusing heavily on themes of courage and quick thinking in the face of the unknown. While the prehistoric setting provides constant excitement, the heart of the book lies in the bond between the protagonists and their ability to stay calm during tense moments. This treasury is designed for the 6 to 9 age range, offering a bridge between picture books and more complex middle grade novels. It serves as a fantastic tool for reinforcing that bravery is not the absence of fear, but the willingness to keep going when things get scary.
