Tiny T. Rex and Pointy the stegosaurus overcome their fears and inexperience to participate in the talent show.Inspired by the Amazing Presto, enthusiastic Tiny and apprehensive Pointy decide to do a magic act. They don top hats and wield wands, select their magic word, and enlist the help of their special assistant, Bob the teddy bear. At first, the pair expect the magic to just happen, but after careful planning and creative thinking, they find a way to make their disappearing trick work. Nervous Pointy pulls out of the performance at the last minute but in the end finds the courage to appear on stage-as Tiny puts it, "Sometimes the grandest ta-da is not making something disappear. It is when someone who disappeared bravely comes back." Stutzman's story touches on hard work and preparation, feelings of anxiety, and perseverance. Tiny does the majority of the narration with brief interjections from Pointy. As a result, aside from facial expressions, readers mostly learn how Pointy feels through Tiny. Because the story never shows Pointy working through fears or uncertainties, some may find the resolution a bit too easily wrapped up. Still, the two are a charming pair. Fleck's illustrations feature sweet dinos with Tiny's recognizable toothy grin, bright colors, and a cute supporting cast of characters. (This book was reviewed digitally.)A muddy message about stick-to-itiveness salvaged by a winsome dino duo. (Picture book. 4-6)
