Reach for this book when your child's vivid imagination starts to blur the line between play and real-world anxiety. It is the perfect choice for a little one who loves learning big facts but occasionally feels overwhelmed by the 'scary' parts of nature or history. Through the story of Patrick and his older brother, the book validates a child's fears while gently providing the logic needed to feel safe again. As Patrick hears about dinosaurs at the zoo, his imagination brings these giants to life in the modern world. The story beautifully captures the way a child's mind can transform a row of cars into a line of triceratops. It is a classic tool for parents to help children navigate the 'what ifs' of their imagination, using factual knowledge as a comforting anchor. Ideal for ages 4 to 8, it balances curiosity with emotional security.
