"Leevi ja dinosauruksen kynsi" (Kustannus-Mäkelä, 2002) on Sininen banaani -sarjaan kuuluva helppolukuinen lastenkirja Leevi-pojasta, joka lähtee äitinsä kanssa tutustumaan museon dinosaurusnäyttelyyn. Visiitti ei mene kuitenkaan ihan putkeen, sillä Leevi lähtee museosta mukanaan dinosauruksen kynsi - ja sitten alkaa tapahtua kummia.

Tarina on hauska ja vähäsen jännittäväkin, mitä ei voi sanoa monestakaan helppolukuisesta kirjasta. Kuvitus on pikkuisen köpöä, mutta omassa sarjassaan tämä on sitä parempaa a-ryhmää.

Kirjaa on helppo vinkata ja ainakin ykkös- ja kakkosluokkalaisiin se tuntuu kolahtavan varsin hyvin.

Presented as an early reader, I'd say this is more a level 4-5. Several words that are not usually in early readers, such as "turnstile", "anticipation", etc. I like the setup - a whole paragraph one page, just a couple sentences on the next. Full color illustrations, varied and interesting vocabulary. This would be good for a 2nd grader who is bored with early readers but still overwhelmed by chapter books.

"Kuka on vienyt minun kynteni...SE TAISIT OLLA SINÄ!!!"

Pitää muistaa olla pelottelematta pieniä koululaisia liikaa.

Ykkös-kakkosille.
