You and Me, Little Bear por Martin Waddell
Little Bear helps Big Bear gather wood, fetch water, and tidy the cave so that they can play together.
A brave little boy named Hal stands up to a hungry (sorry, SUPER HUNGRY) dinosaur who threatens to eat him, his parents, and his dog. Once the dino is tamed, Hal's mom treats the hungry dino to an enormous spaghetti dinner and everything is settled amicably.
I liked this because it's fun, but it also shows pretty successful conflict resolution in action. The dino apologizes and cleans up, nobody gets eaten, and they leave friends.
I also really liked the illustrations--they're cute and add lots of great detail to the story. They're kind of crayon-ish, which I really like because it's the medium a lot of kids work in themselves. It's friendly.
If you're going to read this aloud, make sure you've got your dino "GRRRRR" down--there's a lot of it. Probably best for Kindergarten and 1st grade.… (mais)
