Synopsis
It's Tiny T. Rex's first day of school! In this new addition to the bestselling series, Tiny is certain he's ready for anything at his BIG new school—but learns that even the best-prepared dinosaur will still meet some "oopsies" along the way!
 

Tiny T. Rex is everyone's favorite pint-sized dinosaur! Despite being a little dino in a big world, Tiny doesn't mind taking on a new challenge, even when it's the first day of a brand-new school. From his giant backpack to his good-luck bowtie, Tiny is prepared for anything, and that means nothing can go wrong . . . right? With his best friend, Pointy, by his side, Tiny soon discovers that school isn't about being perfectly prepared after all—and that by trying new things and learning as he goes, he's more ready for school than even he knew

BACK TO SCHOOL FAVORITE: This is a wonderful picture book for home and classroom, and perfect for preparing children for the first day of school. It shares a reassuring and relatable message about trying new things and learning that mistakes and mishaps are how we all grow.

Praise

“Young children will relate to Tiny and his first day of school jitters, while being reassured that school is a place to make mistakes and grow.” — School Library Journal

“Tiny’s world is… vibrant and welcoming, filled with brightly colored, kindly dinosaurs, like BFF Pointy. Tiny models resilience, relying on the support of loved ones

and finding creative ways to cope with a too-big environment. It’s a comforting reminder that new experiences aren’t always easy, but they’re certainly worth it. Small but mighty, like its determined protagonist.” — Kirkus Reviews
