Dino-Hockey u<br />
by Lisa Wheeler • illustrated by Barry Gott<br />
SE GROUP (GRADES 2–6) • Reviews: BL, HG, K, SLJ<br />
“They play to win on icy floors—Meat-Eaters vs.<br />
Veggiesaurs!” Two teams of dinosaurs square off in a<br />
wild game of ice hockey as hundreds of their fellow<br />
dinos cheer them on. T. Rex and Triceratops stare<br />
each other down in a fierce face-off. At first, the<br />
ferocious carnivores of the Meat-Eaters take the lead.<br />
But then the wily Veggiesaurs slip the puck past the<br />
Meat-Eaters’ goalie to tie the game. Which team is<br />
hungrier for victory? Full-color illustrations.<br />

Dinosaur vs. Bedtime u<br />
written and illustrated by Bob Shea<br />
K GROUP (GRADES PreK–K)<br />
Reviews: BCCBH, CL, HH, HGs, K, PWH, SLJ, WC<br />
“ROAR! I’M A DINOSAUR! ROAR! NOTHING<br />
CAN STOP ME!” A young dinosaur takes on a pile<br />
of leaves . . . a big slide . . . a bowl of spaghetti . . .<br />
and “wins” every time. Even grown-ups stop talking<br />
and run away when Dinosaur comes along! Dinosaur<br />
displays a comically terrifying set of teeth at each new<br />
challenge and accepts each triumph with a bashful<br />
bow. Then Dinosaur faces the toughest challenge of<br />
all: bedtime. Full-color illustrations.<br />

Barosaurus, with its forty-three-foot tail. Playful<br />

“Florian’s free-flowing, witty<br />
collection of poems and collages<br />
about dinosaurs is a giganotosaurus<br />
delight—perhaps his best work ever.”<br />

Do unto Otters: A Book about Manners u<br />
written and illustrated by Laurie Keller<br />
P GROUP (GRADES K–1) • Reviews: BLH, HG, K, PW, SLJ<br />
Otters are moving in next door to Mr. Rabbit, and<br />
he doesn’t know what to do. What if they don’t get<br />
along? Well, Owl reminds Rabbit, just follow this<br />
simple rule: “Do unto otters as you would have otters<br />
do unto you.” Great! That means the otters will be<br />
friendly, honest, cooperative, and even share snacks!<br />
Wait a minute—what are those otters eating? Hot<br />
fish sundaes? Maybe they don’t need to share their<br />
snacks after all. Full-color acrylic paintings.<br />

Doctor Ted<br />
by Andrea Beaty • illustrated by Pascal Lemaitre<br />
P GROUP (GRADES K–1)<br />
Reviews: BCCB, BL, CL, H, HGs, K, PWH, SLJ<br />
“One morning, Ted woke up, got out of bed, and<br />
bumped his knee. That’s not good, thought Ted.<br />
I need a doctor.” After finding no doctors nearby,<br />
Ted has another idea: why not become one? But<br />
when Ted starts examining his classmates, his teacher<br />
and his principal don’t seem to approve. “You can’t<br />
practice medicine in the lunchroom!” Mrs. Johnson<br />
says. Doctor Ted points at her cheeks. “You have<br />
mumps. Crutches could help.” Illustrations are<br />
rendered in brush and ink, then colored digitally.<br />

Dodsworth in Paris<br />
written and illustrated by Tim Egan<br />
E GROUP (GRADES 1–3) • Reviews: BL, H, HGs, SLJ, WC<br />
When Dodsworth and the duck arrive in Paris,<br />
Dodsworth explains his one rule: “You can’t cause<br />
any trouble here.” “I wouldn’t dream of it,” the duck<br />
replies. But on the second day, the duck decides to<br />
find out how far a paper airplane can fly from the top<br />
of the Eiffel Tower. He uses paper from Dodsworth’s<br />
bag that—oops—turns out to be money! Neither a<br />
job delivering bread nor Dodsworth’s plan to paint<br />
and sell a picture solves their money woes. Can the<br />
duck get them out of the trouble he got them into?<br />
