Purchase options and add-ons

A hugely popular picture book, now available in oversized board book format for our youngest dino-lovers.

If you happen to have a dinosaur, lying around your living room, and you don't know what to do with it...why don't you use it as a can opener? It will make a terrific nutcracker too! There are oodles of uses for a dinosaur -- from a fine umbrella to an excellent kite and a dandy pillow, not to mention a reliable burglar alarm and the perfect excuse to forget your homework. This delightfully absurd exploration of the domestic uses of dinosaurs -- and the things dinos just aren't good for at all -- is guaranteed to tickle funny bones and spark imaginations. If you read carefully, you'll learn how to make your dinosaur last a very long time.

Review

PRAISE FOR If You Happen to Have a Dinosaur:

"This wacky, zany tale is a storytime crowd pleaser." --Children's Book Review

"Buried in all the rambunctious fun, the story leaves young ones with a message that can be applied to real-life situations: if you take the time to think critically and creatively, you can make effective and logical choices." --Booklist

"There aren't many books that have the courage to be this silly . . . Simply wonderful." --The Globe and Mail

    My toddler loves how this book, we read each night now for a few weeks. I think it's because it brings dinosaurs into the community in a playful way. Quality of the board book was great too.

    Las ilustraciones son muy agradables a los ojos de un niño (no como otros álbumes ilustrados que no les llaman tanto la atención porque parece que los han hecho más bien para un adulto). Sin embargo, a mi hijo de 6 años le resultó muy infantil / aburrida la historia pues no me ha vuelto a pedir que se lo cuente como hace con otros libros. Supongo que igual sus destinatarios son lectores de 3 a 4 años.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    I was looking for a dinosaur storybook or two for my kiddos because they wanted more books with dinos as the focus of the story (this isn’t so much a story with a plot of course). We already had a dozen or so, but we read those so often that we needed a couple more (they didn’t want the dozens upon dozens of other animal story books we have). Came across this one and it is great.

    The book is cute and funny, with nice pictures. It makes sense. and reminds me of a more advanced, “How Do Dinosaurs.....” book without rhyming. Very nicely done and we like it a lot.

    We bought it as a board book, but because of its size and how long it is, it doesn’t have thick pages. I was hoping for thicker pages so our youngest could look at it himself, but I’m thinking I’ll wait a year on that, which is fine but important to know. I really like the size of it though so that both our kiddos can easily see it as I read it to them.

    This is a great book. I can easily see this being read daily and not overstaying its welcome because it is a little longer and is a good production. A great new book to add to our collection!

    we got this book for our little dino fan aged 4, and he loves it a lot. At first I was wondering if he would be able to understand it - but it works well and he finds it very funny. Book quality of both paper & printing is fine.
