My Best Friend Is Extinct by Rebecca Wood Barrett
4.0
This is a record-breaking wintery snowfall for the new town Henry and his mom recently moved to. During recess at school the kids love nothing more than playing in the snow. Even though they aren't allowed to throw snowballs, that doesn't stop them from digging and building tunnels for an epic snow war. When in class Henry can dream nothing more than playing in the snow, especially after he swears he saw something big and white moving in the snow the other day. Soon Henry stumbles upon this big white creature and finds out that it must be prehistoric? He names the creature Yarp and takes care of him as he has an injury. Henry learns that Yarp is not the only prehistoric creature out in the snowy tundra... There's more, and they want exactly what they came for.
I definitely think it was confusing on how old the boy was throughout the book, even though it says he's 10-years-old. Some parts of the book just were too much of a far stretch for me to understand (recess duty, him being outside all day during school, etc), but I did enjoy the wintery setting! Yarp was so cute, and I loved all of the illustrations too! They were gorgeous.
