Paul the Dinosaur Joel Everson

This poetry book is designed for kids but is also supposed to be a fun story for the person reading it too. It starts off with a kid called Billy and a dog called Paul. Playing with the dinosaurs the night before they, (mainly Billy) wanted Paul to become a dinosaur. The next morning the parents put a dinosaur costume on Paul as they wake up. From there throughout the book, they go adventures and laughs described in a poetry way. In the end, Billy was sad that it was the end of the day and Paul had to take his costume off. Paul looks at Billy as to say I've been a dinosaur all along and nothing is going to change. In life, it might not go as you want it to go but your perspective can change it if you allow it to. You can choose to be happy or sad even if it doesn't go your way and that's the moral of the story.
