Bethann is definitely loud and demanding! As she roars, stomps, and chomps across the classroom, the playground, and her fellow students, her greedy behavior transforms her into a ravaging reptile. Terrified classmates tumble willy-nilly like rubble beneath her grasping claws as they try to coexist with this material girl who likes her stuff just a little too much. The outrageous antics of this very vocal girl will have children squealing with delight! Bethann quickly discovers that having it all is just not much fun without people to share it with. An uncomfortable lesson dramatically transforms bossy, blabbering Bethann into caring, sharing Bethann-at least for a little while! Author and illustrator Chris Britt's humor and experiences shine through in this charming foray into the imaginative world of a child.
