Lois G. Grambling Can I Bring My Pterodactyl to School, Ms. Johnson? Illus. by Judy Love. 28pp/ Charlesbridge 2006 ISBN 1-58089-044-1 $16.95 (Early Elementary)
Lois G. Grambling writes about a boy’s wacky and incessant need to bring his
pterodactyl to school. Like Grambling’s previous prehistoric driven books, this
imaginative story is no different. However, it is Judy Love’s masterful
interpretation through art that makes the story come to life and makes every
student want to win a pet pterodactyl. Love’s illustrations liven the story unlike
previous illustrators in the dinosaur-based series. Both the writing style and the
illustrations immerse the reader in a colorful world where a prehistoric pet is the
only thing to own for several useful reasons. This book is hilarious and only
complements the other works of Lois G. Grambling.
