A romp of a tale about the surprising similarities between dinosaurs and children Iamasaurus. I am noodlevorous. One of the genus Ridiculorous. Mothers abhor us. Babies adore us. We romp and we stomp and we chomp on the floras. Turns out kids are not unlike T. rexes. Did you know both creatures share many of the same body parts--maxillae, mandibles, clavicles, ribs. Scapulas, humeri, tibias, fibs? This fun romp of a book will make young readers' inner dinosaurs roar with delight.

Set during the transformative summer before middle school, this novel in verse captures the emotional journey of a girl grappling with her desire for independence while yearning for connection. Through lyrical storytelling, it explores themes of anxiety, self-discovery, and the complexities of growing up, highlighting the universal struggle of navigating friendships and identity during a pivotal life stage.
