Description
In this picture book for beginning readers, Dilly the dinosaur is a mischievous troublemaker who must share playtime with a calm, well-behaved dinosaur. Instead of staying quiet, Dilly invents a series of wild games that soon coax his companion into joining the fun. The two dinosaurs' combined naughtiness creates a playful chaos that escalates throughout the story.
Quick Summary
Picture a tiny dino who can't resist a good prank and a prim, quiet dino who suddenly finds herself joining in on the fun when Dilly starts inventing ridiculous games, the goody-goody can't help but become a second mischievous dinosaur. The story is short, with snappy sentences and lively pictures that make it perfect for early readers who are still building confidence, and the humor is silly enough to get a laugh without being scary. Parents will like that the book sneaks in a lighthearted lesson about how easily influence spreads, without sounding preachy, and there's nothing too intense just harmless dinosaur chaos. At just under 1,000 words, it's a great choice for a read-aloud or a solo reading session that won't drag on. If your kid loves dinosaurs and stories like "How Do Dinosaurs ?" or enjoys the mischief in "David Goes to School," they'll probably ask for this one again and again.
