Description
The creator of the award-winning app Scruffy Kitty, Michael Slack, brings young readers a fresh, dynamic duo: an energetic dinosaur and a cranky but loving bird who both pack lots of silly noises and fuzzy surprises in this vibrantly illustrated friendship story.
Meet Shorty & Clem! Shorty is a really short dinosaur. A shortysaurus, to be exact. Clem is a blue quail. A quail is some kind of bird.
While Clem is out, a package arrives at the door with his name on it. Shorty gets super excited and finds the box irresistible. What's inside A race car...trampoline...bongos...monkeys He REALLY wants to open it but, he knows that it's Clem's. Should he open the box Of course not! Instead, he jumps on it like a trampoline-THUMP!-and bangs on it like a drum-BOOM BADA BOOM!-until he finally opens it. That's when Clem comes home. Shorty is sure he's done something terrible, but Clem proves to him that best friends are the best surprises of all!
