calistareads's review against another edition
3.0
This is an earlier story by William. Bob is a dinosaur that a family finds while traveling the world. He looks like a brontosaurus, but the book doesn’t specify. One of the best pictures is the family is in the water and the parents are sunning on the back of Bob while the kids are swimming in the water and diving off the head of Bob. They make their own island. It’s most amusing.
The family is very well to do and they are always doing things that can make certain people jealous, like the mayor’s wife. They remind me of Hollywood money type of people. It’s a completely silly story. William is so good at whimsical and bringing outrageous ideas to the page. This is one of his earlier stories. I thought it was fun. No attempt is made to explain how they found the dinosaur. They simply did.
The nephew thought this was a great story. He loved the monster as pet story. He liked how much attention the family gets by having him. He gave this book 5 stars. He thought it was wonderful.

The illustrations are FANTASTIC. The page of Bob as a tallship? That's worth the book, all on its own. The story is fine until its climax- which was sorta not worthy of the rest of the book.
