A Dinosaur Called Tiny
HarperCollins 9780007233908
What is striking on glancing through this book is the predominance of blue tones in the pictures and their comic-like style which many youngsters will enjoy. The moral in the tale is obvious but not laboured or hammered home. If you're young, small for your age or species, and can't stick up for yourself you are open to the possibility of being teased and left out of things. That's what happens in this story until Tiny makes friends with the bird-like Archie. As things turn out, it's up to them to effect a rescue together, the rescue of one of those responsible for the tormenting.
