Frizzle's Dino "Boom" in Happy Town is a colorful, illustrated children's picture book in the Frizzle series by Rhonda Goodall. Frizzle is awakened by a loud "boom boom." When he hurries outside, he runs into a dinosaur. Frizzle quickly makes friends with the dinosaur and realizes that he is freshly hatched without a name. Frizzle quickly names him Buddy and their friendship grows. However, Frizzle realizes that although Buddy is friendly, kind, and a very good friend, he also has some bad manners and lacks certain social skills. Faced with how to deal with this, Frizzle asks Mr. Owl for advice. Mr. Owl encourages Frizzle to be a good friend and talk to Buddy. Buddy responds well to Frizzle's advice but soon realizes that Happy Town might not be his long-term home. Once again, Mr. Owl must give advice. What do you think he will say? Will Buddy stay or will he go?
