Harry and the dinosaurs go to school ISBN: 9780141381213
Reynolds, Adrian and Whybrow, Ian
Published by Puffin, 2006
This one is for little boys who love dinosaurs. Harry isn't really nervous about school, but he does want his bucket of dinosaurs to go with him, and when his new teacher Mrs Rance misunderstands and thinks the bucket is his lunch, his dinosaurs get left by the coat pegs. After that, Harry misses them so much that he can't really enjoy school until he realises there is another boy even unhappier, who has not said a single word. Harry makes it his business to cheer up the lad, and with remarkable sensitivity (and the help of his dinosaurs) he manages to do just that. A warmly friendly book with warmly friendly illustrations that hit just the right note.
