Are the Dinosaurs Dead, Dad?

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Russell Ayto. While at a dinosaur exhibit, Dave's father refuses to believe the boy when he indicates that the replicas are alive, telling his son that "Allosaurus don't grin, Dave...It's just your imagination." It's a chuckle-inducing premise with a blah resolution. Ayto takes humorous liberties with dinosaur proportions, and the contrast between their enormity and Dave's diminutiveness (he's the size of a thumb) is awesome.
