Bookroo's summary

A young boy dreams of bringing a pterodactyl to school, not just for show but to fend off bullies and share storytime. His imaginative pleas to his teacher spark a series of hilarious events. Will his prehistoric pal make the grade, or will chaos reign? Dive into a world where dinosaurs and school days collide in uproarious fashion.

From the publisher

Kids are in for Jurassic-sized laughs as they follow a boy in his quest to bring a pterodactyl to school. And not just any pterodactyl: this one wards off bullies, loves to read stories, and makes an excellent science display. Hilarious illustrations capture the madcap imagination of the determined hero and his creative pleas to his teacher.
