If You Happen to Have a Dinosaur

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Colin Jack. A boy proposes uses for a dinosaur (nutcracker, snowplow, etc.) "if you happen to have [one] lying around your living room." This book has an If You Give a Mouse a Cookie pattern, starting with the hypothetical title and concluding with the here-we-go-again ending, although the narrative is less story and more list. Witty and soberly outlandish in word and image.
