Reviews
When Oliver (of Oliver and His Alligator, BCCB 9/13) finds an "egg" (an egg-shaped rock) at the park, he is convinced it will hatch into an orange-polka-dotted dinosaur pal. Oliver imagines playing with his new friend: eating donuts together, sailing to new places (a sail turns the dinosaur into a ship, and Oliver, as captain, sports a Viking helmet), and traveling in a rocket to space. A playmate's question-"Why are you sitting on that rock?"-causes Oliver to ponder the object for a moment, but then he goes on to imagine dinosaur adventures with all his friends in a foldout spread; in real life, Oliver and his friends are all sitting on rocks. There's not much story here, and unfortunately, what story there is is confusing: Oliver's invitation to his friends to join his pretend play is never made clear, and the other kids' under- standing of Oliver's game isn't communicated. Still, Oliver and the dinosaur are a winsome pair, and Schmid's illustrations in pastel pencil, colored digitally, continue to be appealingly cuddly. The figures and objects generally have soft, rounded edges (the dinosaur resembles an inflatable pool toy or a large stuffed animal), and a gentle palette of pastel tones keeps things calm and cheery. Oliver's slightly disheveled hair and oversized blue sweater emphasize his youth, as do his undersized hands and feet. Despite the conceptual glitches, this might be be a useful addition to a storytime focused on rocks, dinosaurs, or imagination. JH-- BCCB, "This young boy's imagination is a powerful force for helping him deal with life... Masterful use of white space and page turns."-- Kirkus Reviews, "Schmid's characteristic pastel pencil illustrations cleverly juxtapose the rock and the child's hopes for it on the same page or spread, and the art and simple story line capture the possibilities of imagination and the tender but often tenuous nature of playtime dynamics. The large, uncluttered pictures that stand out on ample white space make the book a good choice for group sharing."-- School Library Journal
