Buying, Training, & Caring for Your Dinosaur

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Marc Brown. Although it features a most unusual pet, this amusing "guide" covers all the expected topics of pet ownership--selection, preparation, training, and helpful tips. The text highlights dinosaur features and assigns them kid-friendly functions: "Long tail for shooing flies OR pesky sisters." Colorful, textured illustrations add to the humor (e.g., a scaredy-cat dino awaits his shots at the vet's).
