Summary: The World's Best-Loved Dinosaur Helps Kids Cope With School
Review: The aging process takes us through countless milestones--not all of which are pleasant. Many of us have to think back 20, 30, 40, or more years to recall one of our most disturbing ones. At this stage a number of us felt trapped and helpless. Some became victims of insomnia or stomach disorders, and probably far more than are willing to admit it now considered packing our bags and making a late night get-away. Yet, somehow, we all survived our first day of school. For many little children, going to school is the first major trauma life offers. Seeing how enjoyable this seemingly terrifying ordeal is for Baby Bop should alleviate their unhappy confusion. This book describes the juvenile dinosaur's visit to a preschool where she partkes in one fun activity after another. Whether finger-painting, building a sandcastle, playing with blocks, or feeding the guinea pig, the story shows school as a non-threatening place to be. Through a series of bright color photographs, not illustrations, the tale presents schoolmates as friendly and the teacher as kind and supportive.As further reinforcement, Barney is shown bringing Baby-Bop in the morning and picking her up in the afternoon. This cute narrative will make children feel secure at a very unnerving time in their young lives. Unfortunately, it came along three decades too late for me.
