Reach for this book when your child is caught in the magic of a vivid imagination or when you want to nurture their sense of wonder about the everyday world. It is the perfect choice for a young reader who finds the ordinary a bit dull and prefers to believe that something extraordinary, like a pet dinosaur, could be hiding in plain sight. Jackie French delivers a lighthearted story about a family who adopts a pet they call a dog, even though he looks suspiciously like a prehistoric creature. The story explores themes of family secrets, unconditional love, and the joy of embracing the absurd. At its heart, it celebrates a family's willingness to go along with a delightful impossibility. With its short chapters and humorous tone, it is highly accessible for children aged 7 to 10, particularly those who may be transitioning into longer chapter books. Parents will appreciate the way it encourages creative thinking and highlights a supportive family unit that faces a ridiculous situation together.
