From the publisher
After a hard day of playing in the snow, Betsy and Joe really want to dry off near a fire. But that’s not as easy as it sounds. Betsy is a dinosaur, so she’s much too big to fit into the warm lions’ den. Or the cozy bears’ house. Is Betsy’s bigness a great big problem? Or is it just the solution she and Joe need? Read this wonderful story about friendship and find out!
