Rex and Lilly Schooltime: A Dino Easy Reader

Rex and Lilly are two cute dino characters created by Laurie Krasny and Marc Brown, authors of the "Dino-Life Guides for Families." In these simple, charming stories, the two explore show-and-tell, trading lunches, and reading books. "Show-and-Tell" Rex has something special for his class for show-and-tell, but it's a big secret. Everybody tries to guess what it is by asking a series of questions. Rex's surprise is humorous in nature. "Want to Trade?" Rex decides to try trading lunches, setting off a chain of trades. Anyone who's ever had fun trading lunches at school (or elsewhere) before will have fun with this one. "Lilly Reads" Lilly has trouble reading at first, but eventually discovers the sheer joy to be found in reading. The illustrations are softly colored and work nicely with the action. The characters, as anthropomorphized dinosaurs, will be enjoyed by readers of all ages.
