Book Reviews of Danny and the Dinosaur

Book Review: Everybody wants a Pet Dinosaur, Don't They?
Summary: 5 Stars

One day Danny went to the museum, where he saw Indians, Bears and Eskimos, guns, swords and dinosaurs. Danny loves dinosaurs and wishes he had one and all of a sudden he does. At first he believes the dinosaur he sees isn't real, but it is. The dinosaur lowers his head, Danny climbs on and they are off on an adventure. As they stroll through the city the dinosaur thinks the buildings are rocks, but Danny sets him straight. They surprise a policeman by stopping at a red light. They help people across the street, even carry and old woman's bags. However, as the story draws to a close, Danny realizes he can't keep the Dinosaur and so his new friend goes off alone into the sunset.

This is a book for beginning readers. The words are simple, grammar too. It's a cute little story, guaranteed to keep your toddler interested, so much better than the "See Spot Run" kind of early readers. If you want your child reading before Kindergarten, and I do, then this book and books like it are very good additions to your toddlers reading arsenal.

Summary of Danny and the Dinosaur

Danny loves dinosaurs. When he sees one at the museun and says, "It would be nice to play with a dinosaur," a voice answers, "And I think it would be nice to play with you." So begins Dannys and the dinosaur's wonderful adventure together!

But a dinosaur is no ordinary playmate. Even the most everyday activities become extraordinary, like finding a big-enough place to hide a dinosaur in a game of hide-and-seek, and keeping him from knocking over houses with his long tail. But Danny can teach a old dinosaur new tricks. It's the most fun this dinosaur has had in a hundred million years!

Originally published as An I Can Read Book over 40 years ago, this classic story is perfect for reading together.

Danny's out on the town with a real live dinosaur. And whether they're eating ice cream or playing hide-and-seek, these two are having one hundred million years of fun--all in one day.
