Description
In their secret dinosaur world, Jamie and Tom encounter Quetzalcoatus, the biggest of the Pterosaurs. How will they save their dinosaur pal, Wanna, when he is mistaken for a Quetzalcoatus chick?
Quick Summary
Jamie and Tom are back for another adventure in their secret dinosaur world, and this time they're dealing with Quetzalcoatus, the biggest pterosaur you've ever seen. The fun twist is that their lovable dinosaur friend Wanna gets mistaken for a baby Quetzalcoatus, and the kids have to figure out how to convince this enormous creature that Wanna doesn't belong with him. It's got that perfect mix of excitement and silliness that keeps kids turning pages, and the kids really get to use their brains to solve the problem. If your kid liked "The Magic School Bus" or other early chapter books about dinosaurs, this is a great next step. There's a little bit of tension when things look scary, but it's never too much for younger readers, and the resolution is satisfying. At around 4,800 words with a 4.0 reading level, it works well for kids who are getting comfortable with chapter books but still want something they can finish in a sitting or two. Parents will appreciate that there's actually some learning woven in about pterosaurs without it feeling like homework.
