Danny meets a dinosaur at the museum. The two have fun traveling around town, visiting the zoo and playing hide and seek with Danny's friends. At first, Danny is sad that the dinosaur has to return to the museum at the end of the day, but he quickly realizes the dinosaur would be much too large a pet.

This book would be appropriate for young children beginning to read independently between four and six years old. Children that enjoy stories about pets or stories about dinosaurs may also enjoy this book.

I learned to read with this book. I used to make my Mom reread and reread it over and again and it was the first book I read on my own, probably because I had it memorized by that point.

Update: I just recently reread this with my daughter's boyfriend's son who's four and it still captivated his attention all these decades later which I found absolutely delightful.

The artwork is simple but bright enough that it captured Eli's attention as we turned from page to page following the adventures of the bright orange dinosaur. The story engaged him as he tried to show me how many of the dinosaur's tricks he could do too. Overall it was a fun read with a four-year-old and a joyful trip down memory lane for me.
