Prehistoric Pinkerton

Steven Kellogg's classic picture book, "Prehistoric Pinkerton," follows a lovable but rambunctious dog named Pinkerton who is going through a severe teething phase. Nothing is safe from his chomping jaws, much to his owner's exasperation. In an attempt to distract him, or perhaps just to get out of the house, Pinkerton's owner sneaks him into a natural history museum. The adventure truly begins when Pinkerton spots a magnificent, enormous dinosaur bone, presenting the ultimate test of canine self-control. This humorous tale is perfect for children aged 4-8, offering a lighthearted look at pet ownership, impulse control, and the chaos that can ensue when a dog's natural urges meet an inappropriate environment. It's a delightful read-aloud that will spark giggles and conversations about rules and consequences.

Pinkerton's natural canine urge to chew on things while teething coincides with a chaotic visit to the museum's collection of dinosaur bones.
