About This Book
A parent should reach for this book when their imaginative child is completely obsessed with dinosaurs and dreams of having one as a pet. This story humorously explores the logistical and comical problems of domesticating prehistoric creatures. A young boy considers various dinosaurs for a pet, only to discover each one has a major flaw: a Triceratops pokes holes in everything, an Apatosaurus is too tall for the house, and a T-Rex is just a little too toothy. The book celebrates imagination and the joy of creative problem-solving, ending with a sweet and comforting conclusion. It's perfect for a lighthearted, silly read-aloud that channels a child's dino-mania into a story about finding the 'perfect' friend, even if it's not the one you expected.
