BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

APPEALS TO: SEVERAL

Rexy’s differences as a T-rex also make it difficult for her to fit in at school. When a huge rock spits out of a volcano, though, Rexy’s strength is exactly what is needed to save the day. THen others confess that they too have a hard time with certain things.

We all get so nervous that we won’t “fit-in”. I love this reminder, through dinosaurs, that our differences are not mistakes and don’t make us bad. And I love when the other dinos confess their own problems too.
