Beverly gets her very first library card and checks out a book on dinosaurs, then forgets to return it on time.
I liked that a girl was reading about dinosaurs, and how this story showed her really exploring that subject outside of just reading (she makes a dinosaur habitat, for example). I also liked that the author explored children's fears of what would happen if a book was returned late, and that in the end, Beverly is given a bit of grace and told to be more careful next time.

I found this lame, primitive, simplistic, and didactic. Sorry.

The illustrations--which kind of look like they were done in Paint (the program, not the substance)--belie the story Julian Rodriguez tells. So to one reader this might be science fiction, but to a more sophisticated reader this is childhood fantasy. I mean, who hasn't felt like they were from another planet?
