If I Had a Triceratops

32 pp. | Candlewick | February, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-6013-0 $15.99
(3) K-3 Imagining how he would care for his very own triceratops--walking it, cleaning up after it, teaching it tricks--one little boy imagines how the work "will all be worth it when she runs out to greet me at the end of the day." Contrasting with the endearingly straight-faced text, the pencil and watercolor illustrations make the impracticality of dinosaur ownership humorously clear.
Reviewer: Rebecca Reed Whidden
