Edwina is a dinosaur but one who didn't get the "evolve into birds" memo. She lives a wonderful life in a small community where she takes an active view of her civic responsibilities.

Unfortunately, some people just can't be happy with the way things are and this is the case here too as a know-it-all student sets out to prove that she shouldn't be, in fact, alive.

Fortunately, it all works out in the end and we are all taught that we shouldn't judge by any preconceived notions just with our eyes and our hearts.

Another great one from one of America's greatest children's book authors.
