This was fun. It was so much fun we read it twice, and I suspect we'll be reading it again in the morning. Why don't dinosaurs make good pets? Read this book and you'll find out! You will also find out that Gideon Kendall is a lovely illustrator, and Lynn Plourde has a sense of humor. Nice little appendix as well. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0525477780, Hardcover)

Where does a young dinosaur admirer go to find a pet? The Dino Pets store carries every kind of dinosaur a kid could possibly want. Sure, some of them might be a little too big and others might be too fast, but there are advantages, too—a Seismosaurus makes a great backyard playset! In this bouncy read-aloud, the larger-than-life but well-meaning dinosaurs come to life in vibrant color. Kids will love the juxtaposition of prehistoric creatures and modern-day suburbia. A section of facts about the amazing giants makes the book a complete delight for the youngest paleontologists.

A boy brings home various dinosaurs from the pet store, but discovers that neither the biggest nor the smallest, the softest nor the scariest, makes an ideal pet. Includes facts about dinosaurs.
