Manny the Monster In: Take A Pic Of Your Dino Trip! by Leonard Loo is a playful adventure story for kids. Manny and Toothy take off on a fun, lively journey across land, sky, and sea, riding on dinosaurs like Miss Topsy the purple triceratops, Ellie the green Elasmosaurus, and Terry the orange Pterodactyl. Toothy takes lots of photos on their journey, learning how to use his new camera, and learning lots of life lessons along the way. Manny’s photos show his progress in learning to believe in himself and create lasting memories for Manny and Toothy to look back on.
Manny the Monster In: Take A Pic Of Your Dino Trip! by Leonard Loo is a wonderful story that encourages kids to use their imaginations. Written in rhyme with illustrations that are part photo, part drawing, the story invites young readers on an adventure, where they learn about confidence and the courage to keep trying. Leonard offers suggestions that help make the story interactive, making it easy for them to understand and follow. The story also mirrors a learning curve all children face – growing from hesitation to confidence and pride. It’s a brisk-paced story with plenty of humor, and it teaches kids that there’s nothing wrong with failing on a first attempt; practice makes perfect, and there’s a certain joy in finally getting it right. This is the perfect story for all young kids to read at school or home, and it’s one the whole family can get involved in.
