Dear Librarian: There is a Dino for every kid and a kid for every Dino! BUYING, TRAINING, AND CARING FOR YOUR DINOSAUR, the guide to Dino ownership, illustrated by Marc Brown, tickles the funny bone and stirs the imagination. A Charlottesville VA teacher says, "we wrote our own stories about owning dinosaurs after reading your book and the children were so motivated!" Best for adventuresome librarians and booksellers: Diplodocus. With her long neck and tail, she'll help shelve books or reach that volume on the top shelf. Best for intrepid teachers: Triceratops. He's great on the playground and is 100% kid friendly (vegetarian). Visit www.laurajoyrennert.com to win your own T-Rex! No?! Okay, how about entering a random drawing for a signed copy and Marc Brown poster of Stegosaurus and kids at library time. Email me at ljrennert@mac.com if you'd like to do a BEA Dino coffee (or chocolate) break, and thanks for the great support DINO has received from librarians. Hug your Dino every day! Laura Rennert "This starter guide will come in handy, whether kids are in the market for a new fantasy pet or just a fun read-aloud. ...Youngsters will quickly become absorbed in this enjoyable mix of facts, fantasy, and fossils." —Booklist "The opening spread, filled with smiling dinosaurs and children's faces, sets the tone for this tongue-in-cheek guide .... irresistibly delicious." —School Library Journal
