Adopt a Dinosaur
by Andrew Abel
Description
Welcome to the Dino Adoption Agency, where eight prehistoric creatures are looking for a loving home.
There's Tyson the T-Rex, Vera the Velociraptor, Tracy the Triceratops, Brad the Brachiosaurus, Steggles the Stegosaurus, Dippie & Dot the Diplodocuses, Terry the Pteranodon, and Tank the Ankylosaurus. They all have wonderful qualities. They're just not terribly well suited to living in your house.
This rhyming picture book introduces children to eight well-known dinosaurs, each with their own name and personality — and a very good reason why they probably shouldn't be your pet. A pronunciation guide in the back helps young readers tackle the tricky names.
For ages 4–8. Perfect for any child who loves dinosaurs — and any parent who has ever been asked to adopt one.
Suggested age range: 4–8
From the Author
My granson took his small plastic dinosaurs everywhere with him, and wouldn't let them go! So I thought it would be fun to write a book about them.
And it seemed a fun challenge to try to write a poem including dinosaur names! I'm guessing there aren't many poems about dinosaurs!
Reviews
Adopt a Dinosaur is a children's picture book by Andrew Abel. It introduces young readers to the Dinosaur Adoption Agency, a place where children can find their favorite prehistoric creatures. Each dinosaur featured in the book hopes to find a loving family, but the question remains whether they are suitable as pets with their sharp teeth, gigantic bodies, and destructive tendencies. The book features a range of dinosaurs, including Tyson the T-Rex, who is known for being scary and loud; Trike the Triceratops, who charges at everything and breaks toys; Vera the Velociraptor, who can eat other small pets, and many others. The book aims to provide fun insights into each dinosaur's unique features and characteristics.
