Vacation for Dexter!

Description

Age range 4 to 8 Dexter T. Rexter is on a plane-for the very first time. Dexter can't wait to go on vacation with his best friend, Jack. Supercool orange sunglasses? Check. Nifty travel hat? Check. Plane tickets? Uh, what? Dexter may be the toughest, coolest dinosaur around, but everyone knows T. rexes don't fly! If anyone could do it, he could. It's just that he's suddenly feeling a little hot. And maybe a little nervous. But just as he starts to melt down, he notices Jack looks upset. Dexter realizes he has to be brave enough for both of them. And maybe, just maybe, he'll start to have a bit of fun in the air. Both nervous and funny, Dexter tells the readers what he's feeling and even asks their advice as he comes to understand that being brave with a friend makes everything a little better. And hey, those cookies during the flight don't hurt, either!

Lindsay Ward is the creator of the Dexter T. Rexter series. Although she isn't afraid of flying, she always looks forward to cookies during her flights. She is also the author and illustrator of Brobarians, Henry Finds His Word, and When Blue Met Egg. Her book Please Bring Balloons was also made into a play. Most days you can find Lindsay with her family, writing and sketching at her home in Peninsula, Ohio. Learn more about her online at www.LindsayMWard.com.
