Nothing Scares a Dinosaur
CCBC Review:
A little boy (brown-skinned) in dinosaur pajamas is tucked into bed for the night, but as soon as the lights are out, he sits up. “I lie awake. I look around. I see a shadow. Hear a sound.” The mysterious noises are no match for this fearless dinosaur! Stealthily, the boy/dinosaur hunts the terrors in his room—a spooky shadow, the cat beneath his bed, a fearsome spider—until the moment Mommasaurus roars for him to go to sleep. Easy rhymes and engaging illustrations offer humor and appeal for early readers. ©2025 Cooperative Children’s Book Center
