Prehistoric Pinkerton

Another adventure of the bounding Great Dane puppy, Pinkerton, told with Steven Kellogg's usual demanding prose and active, witty drawings. Pinkerton causes havoc in the musuem all because he is teething; the dinosaur skeletons are just so tempting ... Steven Kellogg expects a good deal of his young readers; the narrative must often be inferred from the pictures as much as the text and his vocabulary reflects the speaker, not the reader, which makes for difficult words at times. Funny and rewarding, this is well worth reading to younger children or for rather older ones to read for themselves.
