>About The Book:  Elizabeth Ann Walinsky likes dinosaurs, not dolls, and 
>calls herself Lizard.  It is hard for this dinosaur girl to find friends 
>until she meets Spider (whose real name is Simon), a boy who loves not 
>only dinosaurs but all creepy things.  Lizard Walinksy chronicles how the 
>two children spend a happy summer of pterodactyl egg hunts and marshmallow 
>and gummy worm feats. However, when autumn arrives this inseparable duo 
>must go to separate schools.  Is this the end of the world for 
>Lizard?  Author Roberta Baker shows how Lizard learns about making new 
>friends and why old ones will never become extinct.  Ages 4-8.
