It’s a new month…and it’s time for a new book!

HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY TO

Here’s a little bit about the book from the Amazon Sales page:

Daryl loves the dinosaur book he checked out from the library; it takes him on roaring, stomping dinosaur adventures! So Daryl is unhappy when he has to return it, and he’ll do anything to get his book back!

Daryl loves to play with his favorite library book about dinosaurs. His imagination takes him to prehistoric places, and he pretends to be a triceratops, microraptor, and even a T. rex! But Daryl does not want to share his book, so when he has to return it to the library, Daryl goes wild. Using all of his dinosaur skills, Daryl tries his best to get his book back! But when a clever librarian notices Daryl’s passion, she encourages him to share his favorite book and make some new friends along the way. This playful, silly, funny, tale about reading, books, and sharing is sure to be a hit with any child.

This is a beautiful SEL book that addresses the very difficult problem of SHARING. The text is clever and so kid-relatable! And the illustrations are perfect – what a wonderful collaboration.

This is definitely a book that needs to be in every classroom library for preschools and early elementary grades. Maybe one of the #50PreciousWords contest participants will chose to purchase I WANT MY BOOK BACK for the #50PreciousWords literacy initiative. And please remember that authors and illustrators need our support. Reviews on Amazon or other book sites really help – and requesting that your local library buy copies for their collection is a great idea also.
