S.P. Likes A.D.

The book S.P. Likes A.D. by Catherine Brett, is about a dinosaur. Stephanie Powell enters an art contest at school. The winner of the contest gets to erect a sculpture in front of the school. As Stephanie doesn't really think she is going to win, she fill in the dimensions of the project at 12 feet high.

When she wins, she realizes that she has to actually build the thing. It is the shape of a dinosaur head made of various dinosaur bones. To make the project more manageable, she invites some classmates to help her and enlists the help of a friend of her mother's who is a paleontologist.

But when the girl she has a crush on joins the volunteers, Stephanie is not sure she will be able to concentrate on the sculpture.

Brett, Catherine. (1989). S.P. Likes A.D. Toronto, Ontario: The Women's Press.
