Announcing that he's "not a dog" (despite all appearances to the contrary) but instead is "a great hunter," spaniel Max proceeds to gather everyday items found in the yard in order to piece together a dinosaur skeleton. Humorous illustrations in Catrow's recognizable frenzied style extend the limited text, telling more of the story than Max relates through words.
