Important issues of discrimination, prejudice, and tolerance are explored in this strikingly illustrated book about Tommy the triceratops. When Tommy and his friends chase new arrivals from their watering hole because they look different, their herd leader Alexander suggests a kinder approach. Soon, Tommy tries to repair the situation — but finds himself cornered by a hungry T-Rex! An unexpected hero comes to the rescue, teaching Tommy that he must value people not by appearance but by their character.

Third Graders Loved Tommy!,
This review is from: Tommy and the T-Tops: Helping Children Overcome Prejudice (Let's Talk) (Paperback)
My third grade students were entranced with Tommy's adventure. Tommy's quest to find the truth leads him to discover that goodness and caring resides in non-green dinosaurs. This story is the springboard for my students' exploration of prejudice and understanding of tolerance. My students' conversations around the story were lengthy and intense, so much so, that we needed two sessions at the rug to finish reading Tommy and the T-Tops. Tommy is definitely a hero that third graders understand and love.

author and book are fabulous,
This review is from: Tommy and the T-Tops: Helping Children Overcome Prejudice (Let's Talk) (Paperback)
Not only is the book powerful and interesting (for kids and adults), the author is equally as interesting! I met him at Coffee Labs in Tarrytown this weekend and he is seriously vested in peace in the world. Very inspiring. P.S. the tips at the end for parents to discuss concepts is amazing!!!

Educational and Engaging!,
This review is from: Tommy and the T-Tops: Helping Children Overcome Prejudice (Let's Talk) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book! Rick Alimonti has taken a difficult yet familiar problem, and made it understandable and accessible for his young readers. (Not to mention enjoyable!) I highly recommend it!
