As I work at a library, I know some of the popular books and authors. [name_u]Mo[/name_u] Willems is HUGE for kids, and he has a book called “Edwina: The Dinosaur Who Didn’t Know She Was Extinct”. As Piggie and Elephant and the Pigeon books (characters he writes) don’t seem to be losing any popularity, I’m guessing that any little Edwina’s may hear reference to it from playmates. The dinosaur is very positive (she doesn’t care if all the dinosaurs are extinct - she is too busy baking cookies for school children and playing with them), but perhaps consider reading the book first to make sure it is something that you would find as a positive association with it?
