An early chapter book from Newbery Medal winner Betsy Byars When
Boo brings home a dinosaur that only she can see, her brother
Sammy, doesn't want to encourage her antics. Boo and her dinosaur
are inseparable until Boo says good-bye to the dino quite suddenly.
When Sammy sees how sad his sister is, he understands Boo's need
for her dinosaur more than he wants to admit. So much so that he
almost believes it . . . almost.
Betsy Byars has written many chapter books, including "Little
Horse" and "Little Horse on His Own." Her language, perfectly
tailored to beginning readers, combines with Erik Brooks's charming
illustrations to make a delightful book for children who are just
starting to read. "Boo's Dinosaur" is a 2007 Bank Street - Best
Children's Book of the Year.

The Moon that inspires Betsy Byars's memoir isn't the one in the sky, but a huge, harmless blacksnake she finds in the rafters of her porch. This meeting begins an exploration of the writing process. With energy, wit, and delight, the Newbery medalist shows how "the good scraps" of her life, from a bully named Bubba to a gift-wrapped dime, weave into her work.
