Bookroo's summary

On his first day of school, Harry is anxious, especially about leaving his dinosaur friends behind. But when he meets a boy even more nervous, clinging to a toy bulldozer, Harry wonders if his dinosaurs can help break the ice. Can Harry and his prehistoric pals reach out to the shy newcomer and make a new friend? Discover how a shared love for dinosaurs might just be the key to overcoming first-day fears and forming unexpected friendships.

From the publisher

It’s the first day of school! Harry is nervous because he isn’t sure what to expect. Triceratops is even more nervous, especially when Harry must leave the dinosaurs in the coatroom. But soon Harry sees another boy who is the most nervous of all. He clings to his toy bulldozer and won’t talk to anyone in the class. Harry wonders what he can do. Perhaps the new boy will talk to dinosaurs. . . .
