Excerpt from The Megasaurus, a Lima Bear book

The Lima Bean series of picture books for kids was extremely popular in my classroom when I introduced them. Over the next four weeks, I will feature one book a week through an excerpt and review. I will also share other wise words and tidbits about the series and its creators.

This week I am featuring The Megasaurus, the first book in the series.

Blurb:

Who will save Beandom from the Megasaurus? What’s the King of Beandom to do? The tiny, multicolored beanshaped bears of Beandom are under attack by a monster. Who will save Beandom?

Can the king’s wisest advisors find a solution? Howl the Owl thinks they can tempt the monster with pancakes. Towel the Owl thinks they can drive the monster away with bows and arrows. Vowel the Owl thinks a good strong rock wall will keep their kingdom safe from the Megasaurus. But L. Joe Bean, an
ordinary tiny bear, has another idea — one that is a little “outside the box”. Which approach will work?


Excerpt from The Megasaurus

King Limalot was in trouble. His tiny once-happy Beandom was in trouble. In fact, all of the tiny bean-shaped bears in his Beandom were in trouble, too. Whether they were green like lima beans, or red like pinto beans, they were all in terrible trouble.

There was a monster in Beandom. Tall as the tallest trees, it was so big that it made the earth tremble with each pounding step, and the trees sway when it roared. Its teeth were longer than a man's hand. It was a Megasaurus and its favorite food was BEANS!...
