Age: Toddler-Preschool
Emotion: Shy

A sweet but shy Apatosaurus needs to be coaxed out of his hiding place but not too loud! You'll scare him away. And so goes a gentle give-and-take as the listeners befriend Crunch at his own pace. The mood of this book is rather calming since the narrator informs the audience that they need to be quiet in order to keep Crunch on the page. This serves as a nice balance between the more frantic, high energy interactive read-alouds.
