A large egg appears in the backyard. Is it a giant canary? A large lizard? A huge turtle? It's not any of those things. . . . It's a DINOSAUR! Follow a day filled with mayhem and excitement in the life of Dino as he causes havoc in the house, makes new friends, and learns right from wrong (the goldfish is not food!).

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1-Having a dinosaur for a pet can be quite tricky as the narrator of this story explains. After finding an egg and speculating on its contents, the narrator's family is quite surprised to discover they've adopted a dinosaur. At first, Dino fits in the house, but when he grows to be enormous it causes trouble. The unknown narrator continues to explain the challenges of having a dinosaur as a pet, but things become even more complicated when three more eggs show up. The text is well written and easy to read, but it's the illustrations that provide the amusing surprises. The red and blue color scheme works surprisingly well in directing the eye to the humorous elements. VERDICT A delightful story that's bound to work well as a read-aloud and be popular in most ­collections.-Heidi Grange, Summit Elementary School, Smithfield, UTα(c) Copyright 2011.

Review

Young readers with big dogs or younger sibs will easily relate, though in contrast to the moodier, bright red dino in Bob Shea's Dinosaur vs. series, this one is a good-natured sort, invariably smiling toothily as he romps and stomps through Vaisberg's minimally detailed, two-toned indoor and outdoor settings, created digitally but with a look that blends watercolor and printmaking...A bright, buoyant addition to both the "giant pet" and "new sibling" genres.
—Kirkus Reviews

The text is well written and easy to read, but it’s the illustrations that provide the amusing surprises. The red and blue color scheme works surprisingly well in directing the eye to the humorous elements. A delightful story that’s bound to work well as a read-aloud and be popular in most ­collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super cute with bold illustrations! Perfect for little dino lovers!
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2019
We have a little dino lover in the house so this picture book has been read a few times over and is loved each time.

The art is very fun with it's slightly offset image alignment and it's bold red and blue tones. The usage of only two colors really makes every image and page stand out which I think really helps the story overall. We also loved all the onomatopoeia that was tossed in. Of course dinosaurs are going to make lots of noise!

This is the perfect story book for any little dino lover. It takes us through the day of a dinosaur pet owner, up and downs and all, and gives us a glimpse of what exactly owning such an enormous pet would entail. Dinosaurs eat a lot, they grow a lot, and boy are they loud! Could you imagine having more than one? Yikes!

4.0 out of 5 stars Having A Dino as a Pet
Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2019
In DINO, a family discovers a large egg in their backyard. They think it might be a giant canary, or an alligator, or a tortoise. When the egg hatches, they discover it’s a baby dinosaur! At first he’s really cute, but as he grows he causes all kinds of problems. What’s a family to do with a dino for a pet? The color scheme of this book is all red and blue and I really enjoyed that. DINO is a fun little book sure to please any youngsters who are interested in dinosaurs (and not just knowing all the scientific facts).

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun dino story
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2019
Fans of dinosaurs will delight in this silly story about a family who decides to adopt a dino as a pet after they find a mysterious egg in their backyard. Raising a dinosaur is easy at first, but once he grows up you are in trouble! Broken furniture, chewed on electronics, and mailmen who refuse to stop by your house are only some of the problems the family has to deal with. What will happen when they find three more eggs in their backyard?! Digital illustrations in blue and red make the pictures pop, and the text lends itself to an expressive read aloud.
