Cover of Samanthasaurus RexSamanthasaurus RexB. B Mandell, illustrated by Suzanne KaufmanSamanthasaurus Rex is a small pink dinosaur who does not follow the usual expectations of either her species or her gender. During a family hike, she notices signs of an erupting volcano before the others do. She uses ferns to make a rope, reflects light along a dark path, and summons pteranodons with her roars to help her family escape. Her quick thinking leads her parents and brother to see her differently.Picture Books for Babies, Toddlers, and PreschoolersOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
Cover of Dario and the WhaleDario and the WhaleCheryl Lawton Malone, illustrated by Bistra MassevaDario moves with his mother to a beach town for seasonal work, while a right whale and her calf arrive in the same bay. Dario has difficulty making friends because he does not speak English well. His experiences on the beach echo the young whale’s movements: Dario flies a kite, bumps into someone, and runs along the shore, while the whale chases fish, encounters a sea turtle, and leaps from the water. The boy and whale eventually see one another and look for each other until the whales migrate away.Picture Books for Babies, Toddlers, and PreschoolersLexile Text Measure AD420LATOS Book Level 1.8On the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
