Reviews / Votes
"Joseph's big-eyed, sweet-faced dinos are downright adorable, depicted in vibrant hues, while the text is buoyant and easy to follow. Backmatter on the Progressive Muscle Relaxation technique follows, with a reader's note that will help adults guide young children in learning how to self-regulate. Interactive prehistoric fun-and a solid primer on coping with stress."-Kirkus ReviewsMore details
