Brief Summary: Charlene has to play with Bootsie, her mother's friend's daughter. Bootsie has a bad temper and is very hard to deal with. Charlene tries to be nice to her and play with her, but it's just so difficult. Bootsie continues to pretend that she is a dinosaur.

Charlene handles the situation very well. It's a great ending.
Used in the Classroom: This is a very short book. Students will really enjoy reading this. This would best be introduced and read alone. This would be a great Book Talk book. There are a lot of opinions and thoughts that this book generates. I think that students will be able to relate to this and there should be a lot of discussion from it. It's such a great book to read. It's so cute and I loved it! I think students will enjoy it too if nothing else.
