From the Publisher:

It’s the lovable dinosaur’s first time visiting the beach! When Danny wants to win the sand castle contest, the dinosaur is happy to help out. But what happens when the dinosaur’s help is too much?

Young beach goers will giggle as Danny works with his overeager friend to build the perfect sand castle. A gentle message in support of being kind and helpful even during a competition will be appreciated by parents and caregivers.

Readers first fell in love with Danny and his prehistoric pal in the I Can Read classic Danny and the Dinosaur, created by Syd Hoff in 1958. Now the popular pair is together again in this sweet and funny adventure sure to win over a new generation of beginning readers.

Danny and the Dinosaur and the Sand Castle Contest is a Level One I Can Read, which means it’s perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences.

Leah’s Thoughts:

This one has all the charm of the original Danny and the Dinosaur stories, with a summer twist. The sentences are short and simple, and the sandcastle contest adds just enough excitement. A fun pick for kids who are starting to read on their own and love familiar characters.
