The Hugasaurus (DinoFeelings)

Product Information

Her work aims to capture a free way of thinking - one which makes you feel anything is possible, a feeling all too easily lost with the end of childhood. When we’re all grown-up, sometimes we just need a little nudge to remember it’s been there all along. Rachel is a writer of words, drawer of pictures and champion of silver linings. She exhibits widely, writes tirelessly and frequently creates slightly unhinged characters. Drawing on lyrics from her Mormon children’s hymn of the same title, Pearson explores diversity and acceptance in a more secular context. Her written work includes children’s stories and poems, clever advertising copy and lots of other stuff besides. Her illustrative work is a smorgasboard of giant, hand-printed poems, mind-bogglingly detailed gouache illustrations and a cacophony of quirky prints and etchings.

She explores the lovliness of words and the magic of pictures, revelling in a world of jam-eating miniature bears and other made-up animals. Hello Yellow - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health and Support With Anxiety and Wellbeing - It is such a relatable story for children, especially in the Early Years. It might be the first time leaving their parents, coming into an environment where they might have to share or take turns for the first time. It talks about issues that the children could relate to and link own experiences too. It also talks about feelings of loneliness, being overwhelmed, sadness and nervousness as well as happiness and kindness. These are all emotions children will be feeling and will have to learn to manage. Due to it being relatable, the conversation prompted from the book, such as how we act in the playground or what we do if we begin to feel 'uncomfortable' feelings, can benefit the children's mental wellbeing.A straightforward tale of conflict and reconciliation for newly emergent readers? Not exactly, which raises it above the rest.

This is another book I read to my class at placement, it was thoroughly enjoyed by myself, the other staff and the children. It prompted some wonderful conversation about feelings and how we can manage our own feelings or help others manage theirs. It is about a little dinosaur leaving their Dad for the first time to go and play with the other little dinosaurs. Soon, all the dinosaurs begin to struggle with turn taking and managing their feelings. It all becomes too overwhelming for Hugasaurus. After a conversation with an older dinosaur, they find a solution. In this deceptively spare, very beginning reader, a girl assembles a robot and then treats it like a slave until it goes on strike.
