Reach for this book when you need a lighthearted way to validate your child's vivid imagination or when you feel like the 'boring' logistics of parenting are getting in the way of shared magic. It is a perfect choice for those days when your child sees a dragon in the clouds while you are just trying to find your car keys. The story follows a young boy named Dave on a trip to a natural history museum with his father, who is much more interested in the museum map and the cafe than the exhibits. While Dad insists that dinosaurs are definitely extinct, Dave is having a very different, very prehistoric experience right behind his back. It is a humorous reminder for parents to slow down and look through their child's eyes. This book is ideal for children ages 3 to 7 who love dinosaurs and cheeky, visual storytelling.
