Summary: Errands with mom have never been fun. Until today. At each and every stop, they got a dinosaur ... for FREE! Mom was worried, but our little boy was worried. How many dinosaurs could live at his house? and what would they eat? This is a humorous story that brings kids' imaginations to life.

Recommended Age: read together: 3 to 8; read yourself: 8 to 10
Age of Child: Read with girl nearly 7 years old.
Little Kid Reaction: Our daughter laughed and laughed. She also knew more about dinosaurs than we realized.
Big Kid Reaction: This is a clever, fun book. It is every boys fantasy: dinosaurs as pets! and Mom's greatest wish: more hands to help with chores. I loved the scene in the doctor's office (no shots, today!).
Pros: Kids will enjoy the fantasy and humor in this picture book about dinosaurs as pets. This is a book boys and girls will enjoy.
Cons: None.
Borrow or Buy: Buy. This is a story that you'll be reading a lot. Pre-readers will enjoy looking at the pictures just as much as they like hearing the story.
