A hilarious guide to having a dinosaur . . . as a pet!

Dogs are delightful. Cats are cute. And fish are fun. But the best pet of all is . . . a DINOSAUR!

But how do you pick the dino that’s right for you? Spiky? Armored? Humongous? Pea-brained? Plant-eater? How do you take care of him once he’s (gulp!) home? How do you feed him, exercise him, take him to the vet, and give him a bath?! Not to mention train him, since he might like to chew on—er, swallow—Mom’s new shoes.

Full of little-known info and sage advice, this definitive guide to dino ownership is sure to thrill and delight kids everywhere!

An imaginative guide for the future dinosaur owner in YOUR house, this book offers the in's and out's on choosing, owning, and loving your dino!  Use the handy picture book styling as a perspective pet catalog of sorts to select the one that's right for you.  From the ride friendly brontosaurus to the teeth heavy T-Rex, there is one to fit your every whim.

A perfect read for younger readers that will enjoy the subject matter as well as the colorful artwork, but also a nice break for those looking for a little childhood fun.  Happy reading!

Reader reviewed by Rita Lorraine Hubbard, The Original H.I.R. (Historical Investigative Reporter)

If you're looking for a lively, informative and all-around fun book, you've got to read Buying, Training & Caring for Your Dinosaur, by Laura Joy Rennert.

I love that this book uses a fun format to give kids the scoop on dinosaurs. Disguising itself as a guide book, Buying, Training & Caring for Your Dinosaur, gives eager kids a much-needed lesson on just how to choose the right dinosaur as a pet. It places these huge dinosaurs in everyday settings and gives children a hands-on demonstration of what it might be like to bathe, feed and walk them as pets.

This is an imaginative little book with bright and adorable illustrations by artist Marc Brown, who is also the creator of the lovable Arthur, star of the Emmy-Award winning PBS television show.

Your five to eight year old will treasure this book. Don't miss out.
