If I Had a Dinosaur

(3) PS Illustrated by Alex Barrow. Through bouncy rhyming text, a little girl recounts the wonderful things she could do with a pet dinosaur, from taking him to school to teaching him to fetch (a tree). These flights of fancy are complemented by whimsical retro-style illustrations and playful design elements (e.g., curving text paralleling the dino's body). Facts about the titanosaur fossil discovery that inspired the book precede the text.
