Extraordinaire by Florian Pigé

For kids ages 6 and up

When a mom invites her little boy to blow out his ten candles, she tells him to make an extra special wish. After all, 10 years old is a big birthday! He closes his eyes and takes this to heart. There’s just one problem: when he wakes up the next day, there are dinosaurs in his yard!

As frightened as he is amazed, the little boy imagines the punishment that awaits him if he can’t fix this–which is surely as big as the stegosaurus hidden behind the swingset. How can he make these enormous monsters disappear?
