O’Connor, known for his Olympian graphic novel series, brings readers a cute tongue-in-cheek look into what it would be like to have a triceratops as a pet. O’Connor’s entertaining illustrations, done in pencil and watercolor, are the true gems of this story. While the text relates all that the boy would do to take care of his pet (walking, cleaning, playing), the illustrations show the true hilarity of the situation, such as the triceratops sleeping under the boys bed during a thunderstorm.

This silly story would be a good addition to storytime and is sure to be a hit among dinosaur and dog lovers alike. Recommended for pre-K to 2nd grade.

O’Connor is also the author of the similar title: If I had a Raptor. (

Owning a triceratops would be a whole lot of fun and a whole lot of work. (
