"A boy keeps a toy dinosaur in his pocket to help him be brave like his dad--but when the dinosaur goes missing, Dad knows just what to do"-- - Penguin Putnam
A heartwarming father-son story about bravery and facing fears.
Nicholas was afraid of the dark outside his door, the bushes where the giant bugs live, and the underside of manhole covers.
Â
His dad was not afraid of anything.
Â
Nicholas wants to be as brave as his dad, but he needs help. Thatâs why he needs a dinosaur. After all, dinosaurs like the dark, bugs are nothing to them, and they eat manhole covers for lunch (and everything under them for dinner).
Â
With his toy dinosaur, Nicholas can scale tall walls, swim in deep water, even score a goal against the huge goalie everyone calls Gorilla. But when the dinosaur goes missing, everything is scary again.
Â
Luckily, his dad knows that even the bravest people can get scared, and itâs okay to ask for help facing your fears. Itâs just guy stuff.
A family classic in the making from the dream team of Newbery Honor-winner Gennifer Choldenko and Caldecott Medal-winner Dan Santat.
? "[Choldenko's] knowing, understated storytelling and Santatâs warm, expressive spreads give full credence to the fears that weigh on kids, as well as the presencesâboth real and imaginedâthat can help alleviate them."âPublishers Weekly (starred review) - Penguin Putnam
