Book Summary: 

This is the sweet and funny tale of a young girl named Candy and her Cankersaurus Rex! Candy receives a dinosaur as a gift and is determined to train him to be a good pet. This playful homage to Syd Hoff will make all dinosaur-crazy boys and girls happy!

Jason Sandberg, born in Minneapolis in 1971, acquired a love of drawing after discovering the artwork of Jacob Kurtzberg. His paintings have been exhibited in Minneapolis and Manhattan. Art Historian Scott McCloud classified his work as uncategorizable. “I’m a Fine Artist who also wants to produce the ‘missing books’ from my childhood, the books I wished I’d had.”

My Review: 

I received a review copy of this book from Jason, the author and illustrator of this book, and was excited by his passion to create books he always wish he had as a child. The story Candy and her Cankersaur and the illustrations have a classic feel, reminding me of the old time Richie Rich comic book series.

The storyline touches on the basic challenges of childhood- being jealous of what other kids have, learning to take responsibility for things you own, and the complexities of parent-child relationships.

The story and the illustrations complement each other well, making it a perfect book for emerging readers to break out and read on their own.

I am very pleased to announce that Jason graciously offered to share 10 copies of this book with my readers. So, go...right now! Enter the Rafflecopter giveaway to win a free copy of this e-book.
