It is the first day of school and Little Dinosaur is prepared for the day. However, Spikey is not ready for the first day of school. Throughout the day it details how Spikey is having a hard time because he is not prepared. In the end, Spikey says he will be prepared just like Little Dinosaur.

I really liked the book because it teaches the reader to be prepared. It shows the reader consequences for not being prepared.
