What the Dinosaurs Did at School

PreS-Gr 2—In this rollicking third book from the creators of Dinovember, the dinosaurs from What the Dinosaurs Did Last Night escape in a backpack and head to school. The narrator tries to find ways to hide the dinosaurs in order to keep them from being sent to the Drawer of No Return. Unfortunately, the dinosaurs make a mess everywhere they go, even in the library. An experiment in the science lab goes awry and they are caught and sent to the Drawer of No Return where they proceed to have a party with all the other toys. The whimsical and fun photographs show real plastic dinosaurs posed in various locations throughout the school and they are the best part of the book. Somehow, the dinosaurs' expressions (which never change) seem to match whatever action is happening around them. While the text adds to the tale, the photographs are what really carry the story. This book might even inspire students to document dinosaur adventures of their own.
