A little girl had a dog named Pinkerton. He was teething and kept chewing on everything in the house. The girl was about to go to a dinosaur museum for a field trip and couldn't leave Pinkerton at home alone, so she brought him. She dressed him up in a dinosaur costume that she had so they would think he was two students. When they were observing one of the dinosaur's skeleton, Pinkerton ran in and ate one of the bones.

I love the Steven Kellogg books, I'm always on a look out for one I don't have; the illustrations are fantastic. (

Pinkerton is teething and nothing made of wood or bone is safe! So his young owner doesn't dare leave him home alone when she goes on a school trip to the dinosaur museum. Her class is wearing dinosaur costumes for the occasion, so she disguises Pinkerton as a stegosaurus. But will Pinkerton be able to resist trying out his puppy teeth on a mouthwatering diplodocus skeleton?

"Crowded with funny, off-the-wall details. This book will be a big hit with preschool and primary readers." (School Library Journal, starred review)
