Description

Dexter T. Rexter is going to school. But will anyone like him?

Tomorrow is the biggest event ever in Dexter's life: his best friend, Jack, is taking him to school for Show and Tell Day! Dexter has been getting ready for weeks. But now he's a little nervous. What if the other kids don't like him? So Dexter decides to come up with a plan. He'll wear a costume. Dinosaurs in bunny ears look good, right? He'll recite state capitals starting with...uh...ah...er. Then he realizes something. He can't dance. He can't recite things. He doesn't have ANY skills. What's a dino to do?

This comical, interactive tale of belonging, friendship, anticipation, and first-day-at-school jitters lets readers experience the excitement and nervousness along with Dexter--and even offer him a little advice along the way.

Publishers Weekly

In his second outing, Dexter, a toothy, orange dinosaur toy, is freaking out about show-and-tell day at his owner, Jack's, school. Dexter's anxiety peaks--with psychosomatic symptoms such as "tummyache" and "clammy claws"--as he questions his self-worth: "What if Jack doesn't think I'm cool enough for Show and Tell anymore?" Happily, Dexter nails it by just being himself. Ward's gentle art features cut-paper forms with residual pencil outlines, providing an ad hoc quality to the spreads. Readers prone to anxiety over big events should be tickled by the idea that a toy has concerns too. Ages 3-7. (July)
