Popular comedy writer James Breakwell brings us the story of a determined boy with big dreams who remains undeterred by all the naysayers! Tommy knows exactly what he wants to be when he grows up. But when he announces that he plans to be a pterodactyl, it turns out he's surrounded by skeptics (because what would he eat? Where would he live? How would he make money?). What's a kid with a big dream to do? Well first of all, he's not about to give up. (And he has a lot of good answers!) And fortunately, Tommy also has a wonderfully open-minded dad who helps him find a way to fulfill his goal.
