When J.P. and his family go to a dinosaur themed water park, J.P. is having a wonderful time until he comes up to the dinosaur shaped sign saying, “You must be this tall.” Young children will identify with J.P.’s tear, frown, and attempts to show he is big enough for this section of the park thanks to Erica Sirotich’s simple, yet effective illustrations.
J.P. states, “I almost threw a fit. I was so sad.” Then with help, he remembers his previous fun. The day is saved.
This is one of three books with the Mood-o-Meter by Ana Crespo aimed at pre-school and early primary aged children.
