The Dinosaur Tamer: And Other Stories for Children with Diabetes

The Dinosaur Tamer: And Other Stories for Children with Diabetes/
Marcia Levine Mazur, Peter Banks and Andrew Keegan.
Contemporary Books, 1995.

There are twenty five stories in this book and aimed at children aged 8 and older. But it is also suitable for an adult to read to a younger child.
The main characters have type 1 diabetes and the stories contain different situations whereby the characters have to manage their diabetes and not be afraid to ask for help.
The book was written in 1995 and the information may be a bit outdated. The treatment of diabetes has come a long way since then. However it is still a valuable resource for use in discussion with a diabetic child or young adolescent.They will be able to relate to the stories.
