Review

Crunch is a shy dinosaur who needs some coaxing to come out of the bushes. This interactive text encourages children to try to get Crunch to come out by speaking quietly, singing Happy Birthday, telling him their name, and finally saying good night. At times, the book will need some extra explanation as phrases like "uncomfortably close" and "appropriate distance" are used. Overall, young children will enjoy the playful text and illustrations.

Overall Book Score: good
