Reach for this book when your child is starting to notice 'cliques' or hearing friends say, 'We don't play with those kids.' This charming prehistoric story addresses the roots of prejudice and the bravery required to cross social boundaries. It centers on Nosy and Banty, two dinosaurs from different species who have been taught by their parents that the other kind is inferior. By forming an forbidden alliance to defeat a common predator, the duo proves that their combined strengths are far superior to their isolated biases. This is a gentle, humorous, and effective way to model independent thinking for newly independent readers. It transforms a heavy lesson on discrimination into a lighthearted adventure that celebrates friendship and the courage to challenge the status quo.
