This is a thoroughly cute book about what is needed to become a dinosaur owner. It's a cautionary tale of sorts, complete with beautiful artwork and a very dry sense of humor. I think children would respond to it fairly well, especially if they are of a paleontological bend.

I just wish there were more feathers on the dinosaurs, and that some of them were rendered a bit more closely to what we now know they looked like...
A daft bit of fun but very well done.

Even manages to sneak a bit of science in without you really noticing.
Lots of fun. I particularly liked the illustration of the dapper young businessman with the garbage bag and shovel over his shoulder and the brontosaurus on a leash.
