In a small one-room schoolhouse between two mountains, near a river, in the middle of nowhere, a very creative teacher takes her students outside for their lesson. The students take paper and crayons and become explorers. First, they see a Brontosaurus that has stopped for a drink in the river. The kids draw what they see on their paper. They discover a Stegosaurus hidden between the rocks and Pterodactyls flying through the skies. Only the bravest students stay to draw the roaring Tyrannosaurus Rex. They return to school with their drawings of the spectacular creatures sparked by their extraordinary teacher. Vivid landscapes filled with playful details complement this inspirational story about the impact of teachers and thinking outside the box. mjw |
