Goodreads
It’s Rexy’s first day of school – and she is worried about fitting in with the other dinosaurs. Her teeth are the size of bananas and her arms are so short she can’t even scratch an itch. When she sits in the front row of the classroom the dinosaur behind her couldn’t even see around her big head. At recess she accidentally pops the kickball with her teeth and is so embarrassed. But when the volcano erupts near school, Rexy saves a fellow classmate using her powerful jaws. Her new friends give her encouragement, complimenting her strengths and reminding her that no one is good at everything. This is a simple story with a sweet message about embracing differences. Digital illustrations are colorful and fun. Recommended for dinosaur lovers ages 3 to 7 (Pre-K to 1st Grade).
