Synopsis:
A large egg appears in the backyard. Is it a giant canary? A large lizard? A huge turtle? It's not any of those things... It's a DINOSAUR!
Follow a day filled with mayhem and excitement in the life of Dino as he causes havoc in the house, makes new friends, and learns right from wrong (the goldfish is not food!). Having an enormous dinosaur in the house can definitely be tricky, but Dino loves his people and they love him. A gloriously fun romp through the trials of owning a pet told with a deft humorous touch and an iconic visual style by debut creator Diego Vaisberg. 

My Thoughts:
We have a little dino lover in the house so this picture book has been read a few times over and is loved each time. 

The art is very fun with it's slightly offset image alignment and it's bold red and blue tones. The use of only two colors really makes every image and page stand out which I think really helps the story overall.  We also loved all the onomatopoeia that was tossed in. Of course, dinosaurs are going to make lots of noise! 

This is the perfect storybook for any little dino lover. It takes us through the day of a dinosaur pet owner, up and downs and all, and gives us a glimpse of what exactly owning such an enormous pet would entail. Dinosaurs eat a lot, they grow a lot, and boy are they loud! Could you imagine having more than one? Yikes!
