From Cirocco Dunlap (This Book Will Not Be Fun) and Theodor Seuss Geisel Award winner Greg Pizzoli (The Watermelon Seed) comes a charming, giggly read-aloud that illustrates the particular art of making a friend Crunch is a lovely and quiet brontosaurus who has hidden himself in some shubbery and is rather shy.
He would like to play, but it will require some gentle coaxing from you If you are patient and encouraging, you will find yourself with a new friend This book is a warm, funny example of how to engage with someone new, who is perhaps a bit different from you.
Lessons in friend-making (such as minding personal space and demonstrating interest in another's hobbies) are delivered so subtly that children will absorb them unconsciously as they delight in Crunch's silly hat and dance moves Cirocco Dunlap (This Book Will Not Be Fun) and Greg Pizzoli (The Watermelon Seed) enchant and surprise us with their first collaboration.
