Brontorina by James Howe

 

Brontorina has a dream. She wants to dance. But Brontorina is rather large too large to fit in Madam Lucille's dance stuido. Brontorina does not have the right shoes, and everyone knows you cant dance without the proper footwear. Still, Brontorina knows, deep in her heart, that she is meant to be a ballerina. Brontorina by James Howe illustrated by Randy Cecil was published in August 2010. 

My kids really enjoy reading any books with dinosaurs in it. But you don't often see long neck dinosaur books in the fiction side so to find one makes it special. But we also decided to read it for the letter b week. The illustrations in this book are so colorful and full of love. The illustrations really helped make the story-line as the characters show a lot of personality. I love these story as it talks about being yourself and trying your best. But also including others when they have a hard time fitting in.
