Description
A dinosaur's exuberance about moving cools considerably when he realizes how much he misses his next-door friend.
Quick Summary
Mitchell Is Moving is a charming little story about a dinosaur who couldn't be more excited to pack up and go until he realizes what he's leaving behind. The book captures that mix of big-kid excitement and underlying worry about change perfectly, making it a great conversation starter for anyone with a move on the horizon or just a kid who's navigating the tricky feelings around saying goodbye. Kids who are into dinosaurs will love that Mitchell is a big green dino with tons of personality, while the humor keeps the tone lighthearted rather than heavy-handed. The friendship element (Mitchell misses his next-door buddy more than he expected) will resonate with anyone who's ever moved away from a best friend. Parents will appreciate that it's short enough for read-alouds but substantial enough to spark real talk about feelings. If your kid enjoys this one, they'd probably also like "The Berenstain Bears' Moving Day" for another take on the moving-and-friendship theme.
