Description: ""Our school has almost nothing. A blackboard, some chairs, a teacher." The teacher is there at the door waiting for them every day. And this day they are taking whatever art supplies they can come up with and going outdoors to draw. And out there, amongst the trees, the mountains the huge boulders, the river are--dinosaurs--of every kind. And a squirrel. From children's book stars Jairo Buitrago and Rafael Yockteng comes this wonderful story of a most spectacular school day. And of a school which has nothing more than a blackboard, some chairs, and one of the best teachers anyone could ever hope for."--
