A mysterious egg appears in a yard and hatches a dinosaur. An unseen character narrating in first-person plural straightforwardly explains how having a pet dinosaur is definitely not easy ("we play outside as much as possible, though he doesn't always bring the ball back"); the stylized, two-tone (blue and red) illustrations provide the humor (Dino's too-short arms can't reach the ball).
