Pinky and Rex (Pinky & Rex)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book on resolving conflict!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book with my pre-schooler. I liked how the author gives us two characters who have a lot of differences, yet are such good friends. The names of the main characters also goes beyond what we might typically think of as boy or girl likes and dislikes. For example, the boy's name is Pinky because he likes the color pink, and the girl's name is Rex because that's her favorite dinosaur. The thing I enjoyed most about this book though was that towards the end they come across a problem where only one dinosaur is left to purchase from the museum gift shop. I really liked how these children learned to resolve the problem on their own and did so creatively! What a wonderful lesson for children to learn!
