WHY CAN'T I BE A DINOSAUR?
TODAY is Aunt Daisy’s wedding, and Nellie is meant to be her flower girl. But today, Nellie wants to be a dinosaur… Perfect for preschoolers,
and for anyone who has ever had to argue with a four-year-old.
'Today. Is. Dinosaur. Day!' I roared.
'Today is Aunt Daisy's wedding,' said Mum.
'After breakfast, we all have to get dressed in special clothes. Nellie, you're a flower girl, remember?'
'I can't wear a dress today,' I said. 'I'm a dinosaur.'
A light-hearted book that celebrates individuality, set against the backdrop of a family wedding. The early morning chaos will be familiar to anyone who has tried to get their children out of the house in a hurry, and Nellie's ingenious solution will amuse all.
