📘 Dad and the Dinosaur by Gennifer Choldenko

Nicholas is anxious about the dark outside his bedroom door, the giant bugs that live in nearby bushes, and the underside of manhole covers.

To achieve that, Nicholas believes a dinosaur—known for thriving in darkness, indifferent to bugs, and reputed to consume manhole covers for a meal—could be the key to overcoming his fears.
