About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the tricky social dynamics of early elementary school, particularly if they are oscillating between feeling picked on and overcompensating by acting like a 'big shot.' Basil Brontosaurus captures the vulnerability of being different and the common mistake of thinking that being bigger or 'special' means you should boss others around. It is a gentle, humorous entry into the world of chapter books that helps children understand that true confidence is about how you treat others, not just how big or smart you feel. Parents will appreciate the way it uses prehistoric playmates to model the consequences of bullying and the importance of humility. It is a lighthearted yet meaningful tool for discussing how to handle newfound strengths without becoming the playground's next big problem.
