Pterry the pterodactyl has the sc-sc-scariest dreams—the kind that come true!

Last night, Pterry dreamed about terrifying creatures with big eyes, lots of hair, and long creepy fingers.

Then, on his first-day-of-school field trip, Pterry comes face to face with the horrible beasts: monkeys. And they escape! Can Pterry find the courage to save himself and his new dinosaur classmates? Or will his banana-shaped head be his downfall?

Kon Tan’s hilarious, heart-filled early graphic novel series shows kids it’s okay to be scared—and that fears can be overcome.
