Illustrated by
Garry Parsons.
While exploring a science-museum spaceship, boy Danny and his dinosaur launch themselves into space and forget their lunch. Hungry Dinosaur eats everything (including their ship and surrounding planets), leaving Danny wondering how they'll get home. Dinosaur's propulsive-poop solution is gross scatological humor at its basest. Still, the illustrations are mainly cheerful, and this British import's rhyming text is easy to read aloud.
