I read this book when I was 10 years old. It was the first book that I read on my own that made me truly care about the characters. I was reluctant to to turn the last page. I did not want to say goodbye to Joan to Joey Brown and George the Stegosaurus. It was as if Evelyn Lampman had willed to life real people that became my friends. As the end of this book is, shall we say, bittersweet, the joy of my remembrance of reading it always has just a touch of sadness to it. This book was instrumental in making me a lifelong avid reader.

A book from my childhood
This is one of my favorite books from childhood, and I was thrilled to find a copy for my son to enjoy. It is a wonderful story that I can share with him.

great
This is a 'what if'' [one of my favs. How do people [kids] find and incorporate a dinosauer into their lives? Wonderful depictions--a true literary classic!

The Shy Stegosaurus of Cricket Creek
Excellent read for young adolescents about two kids who meet a stegosaurus on their ranch, encounter bandits and learn a few lessons about life. I loved this book as a young teenager and was delighted to find it again. I enjoyed reading it again as a grandmama!
