About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is caught in a whirlwind of high-energy play and needs a story that validates their sense of adventure while modeling the power of working together. It is an ideal choice for the child who refuses to pick just one favorite thing, offering a delightful mashup of prehistoric giants and high-seas swashbuckling. The narrative provides a safe space to explore concepts of bravery and standing up to 'baddies' without being overly frightening. As the dinosaur crew navigates their ship, discovers treasure, and outsmarts a rival pirate band, parents will appreciate the emphasis on group cooperation and the clear distinction between fair play and marauding behavior. Penny Dale's detailed illustrations provide plenty of visual cues for vocabulary building. Suitable for preschoolers through early elementary students, this book transforms a standard adventure tale into a lesson on loyalty and shared triumph through its fast-paced, engaging action.
