Crunch the Shy Dinosaur, Board book

Crunch is a quiet brontosaurus who has hidden himself in some shrubbery and is rather shy. He would like to play--and has some secret dance moves to share--but it will require gentle coaxing from you. If you are patient and encouraging, you will find yourself with a new friend!

This picture book, from the author of This Book Will Not Be Fun and a Theodor Seuss Geisel Award-winning illustrator, has subtly delivered lessons in friend making (such as minding personal space and demonstrating interest in another's hobbies) and is a warm, funny example of how to engage with someone new.
