Description

Millie, who likes finding new hobbies, eagerly signs up for ninja school, only to learn that ninja skills, such as hiding and kicking, are a real challenge for a triceratops.

Quick Summary

Millie, a triceratops who loves finding new hobbies, eagerly signs up for ninja school but discovers that ninja skills like hiding behind trees and performing high kicks are nearly impossible for a three-ton dinosaur with a massive frill and horns. The story explores themes of persistence, embracing challenges, and learning that trying new things does not always come naturally, even when you are enthusiastic about them. If your kid likes "The Bad Guys" by Aaron Blabey, they will love this because both feature an unlikely animal character who struggles to fit in while learning important lessons about perseverance. Perfect for children in grades K-3 who are beginning readers, this 468-word book matches the 3.0 AR reading level and appeals to kids who enjoy silly, dinosaur-themed stories about never giving up.
