(3) K-3 In the "deepest, darkest part of the park," Leonard finds an egg that hatches Buster, who outgrows the boy's urban environment and whom Leonard eventually returns home via creative means. While we've seen dinosaur-as-pet picture books before, Pett's stands out for its understated storytelling and refined digitally painted charcoal illustrations with pleasingly subtle details set amid New York City landmarks.
