Dinosaur Trouble — Dick King-Smith

Dinosaurs learn about friendship, teamwork, and prejudice in this hilarious yarn for newly independent readers, from a master of children's animal stories.

Sometimes the most unlikely pairs make the best of friends . . .

All pterodactyls know that flying dinosaurs are superior, and all apatosauruses know that any dinosaur with only two legs is surely second-class. Nosy, a pterodactyl, and Banty, an apatosaurus, become great friends even though their parents have forbidden them to play together. With Nosy's fast flying and Banty's smarts, the two take on the biggest predator on the Great Plain, and conquer their parents' prejudices in one great adventure.

“The story is a good choice for dinophiles who have moved beyond picture books and are ready for easy chapter books.” -- School Library Journal
