A CBCA NOTABLE EARLY CHILDHOOD BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025

James loves two things more than anything in the world: dinosaurs and miniatures. So when his class goes on an excursion to a museum and James finds a miniature dinosaur in the gift shop, he can't help himself: he steals the dinosaur. But as the day continues, James's guilt grows. And so does the dinosaur!

The only thing that can cure James's guilt—and shrink the dinosaur back to its proper size—is doing the right thing.

A warm-hearted cautionary tale for sticky fingers everywhere.
