A Stegosaurus Named Sam
Kevin E. Adams / Kevin E. Adams and FIC.340 ADA
It's hard to be a young dinosaur and look different from the rest of your friends and family. Sam the Stegosaurus
has to learn that sometimes looking different is a good thing, and that everyone has his or her job and place in the
world. Sam the Stegosaurus's life, way back in the Jurassic period, was normal and happy, playing dinosaur
games like Hide and Seek, Kick the Rock and Chase the Tail with his friends. Then he had to grow up (although
he fought against it for as long as possible), and suddenly everything was different, because growing up, for him,
also meant growing some really weird-looking bumps and lumps. The other Stegosauruses also had lumps and
bumps, but none as large or as strange as Sam's. They started to tease Sam and make fun of him. He couldn't
play with them anymore. At least he had Willard, his Apatosaurus friend. One day Sam went crying to his mom,
saying he couldn't understand why he was so different. She told him, 'Sometimes it's hard to be different, but
someday that difference could change everything.' How true that would turn out to be! Months went by and Sam's
lumps and bumps turned into large, thick plates on his back, and huge, fierce spikes on his tail. He was very big
and very scary-looking, and the other Stegosauruses ignored him. If it hadn't been for Willard, Sam would have
been very lonely indeed. Then, one day, an enormous, hungry Allosaurus came to attack the Stegosauruses &
The whole herd was in danger, all huddled together, trying to protect themselves. Could anybody save them, or
would the Stegosauruses become just another part of pre-history?

ABC Feelings : A Learning/Coloring Book Delis-Abrams, Alexandra
507 123 DEL
Pap/Cas
ABC Feelings is a learning and coloring book for use by an adult and child to share and understand feelings. This
book requires interaction by the adult. Not only will they need to explain the meaning of a feeling - sample
dialogue is provided along with a picture which shows an action in response to the feeling - but the adult will also
need to talk about a time when he experienced it. The next step is for the adult to ask the child, "Can you think of
a time when you felt _________?" And, then, the adult listens to the answer without being judgmental. A child
may color the picture provided and/or draw or write how they felt when they had the feeling. As the title indicates,
26 feelings are in alphabetical order. Typically identified feelings for young children such as "mad" and "sad" are
discussed along with complex "victorious" and "peaceful" and unusual "zippy." The illustrations are more detailed
than a standard young-aged child coloring book. These pictures should appeal to an older child. Written for ages
3 and up, ABC Feelings will aid in communication. An adult and child who honestly go through this book together
can learn much about each other. Author Dr. Delis-Abrams also includes a Curriculum Activity Guide at the end of
the book.
