About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like a 'fish out of water' or is struggling to find their place in a world that feels overwhelming and loud. It is the perfect choice for the kid who uses humor and imagination to cope with being different or feeling physically or socially out of sync with their peers. This whimsical story follows a group of refined, intelligent dinosaurs who travel from the prehistoric era to modern-day New York City, only to find that the 'scary' big city is just as wild as the jungle. Through absurdist humor and vibrant illustrations, it explores themes of belonging, finding your tribe, and the importance of staying true to yourself even when you stand out. Ideal for ages 5 to 9, it serves as a playful bridge for discussing how to navigate big transitions and the value of kindness over brute strength.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and uses a science-fiction premise to drive the plot. It deals with identity and the feeling of being an 'other' metaphorically. The resolution is hopeful and empowering, as the dinosaurs find a way to exist on their own terms within the city.
