A Boy Wants a Dinosaur
Illustrated by Satoshi Kitamura
'A boy wants a dinosaur this much,' says Alex's grandfather, 'a boy should have a dinosaur... ' So they go to the dino-store and bring home a massive Massospondylous, which proceeds to lay waste to the house as it shifts its huge bulk from page to page of this vivid and quirkily entertaining picture book. Young children will love the mounting chaos, but may nevertheless feel relieved at the conventional resolution of the story.
