If you happened to find a dinosaur in your home, what would you do with him? You would be surprised to see how helpful he could be. Would you put him to use as a can opener, a burglar alarm, or an umbrella? Would you use him as a lawnmower or an excuse for incomplete homework? The book also warns readers that some dinosaurs are not suited for every type of chore; It is about finding the right fit. This whimsical, absurd tale allows the reader’s imagination to run wild while exploring the domestic uses of a dino. The bold, playful illustrations add to the humorous and exaggerative nature of the story. cc |
