Book Description

"Night came. The house was dark and quiet when Elie heard footsteps on the stairs. The dinosaur was back, pounding so heavily on the floor that Elie's room shook. Books flew out of the bookcase. Closet doors opened. Pants and shirts fell onto the floor. "Elie leaned over his bed and reached for the water bottle. He held it in his hands, waiting for the dinosaur to come closer. Within moments, Elie was looking into the dinosaur's dark eyes. A long spiked tail flopped up and down, knocking over pictures, stuffed animals and the bottle in Elie's hand." What would you do if a dinosaur came into your room every night? That's what happens to Elie. He won't sleep in his room and his brother and sister do not help. When his mother reads that dinosaurs don't like water, she and Elie come up with a plan that seems so easy. But it's not!
