Publisher Description
All her life, Boo has wanted a real live dinosaur to follow her home-and today, one did. There is only one problem-no one else can see Boo's dinosaur. Boo's older brother Sammy certainly won't put up with these crazy antics. A dinosaur? Outside the window? This has to stop! But Boo can't bear to part with her new friend yet. First she has to go to the library and find the perfect dinosaur book to read, then she has to ride around on her new friend to keep it from becoming lonely. Sammy is getting tired of all this-but then he remembers a monkey, who no one else could see, who was his friend long ago. Can he help Boo say goodbye? Newbery Medal-winning author Betsey Byars is beloved for her touching childhood stories. "... charming ... a natural recommendation..."-School Library Journal

"This is such a cute book! Wonderful for the beginning reader! I loved that the older brother in it was supportive of his younger sister and her (probably) incredibly wild imagination. Very cute story and illustrations that kept both my children (4 & 6) very engaged. "

" Good read aloud, especially for 2-3 year olds. Very short chapters with an adorable main character. "

" I absolutely love this book! It is so cute and the illustrations are amazing! I was excited to see what the next page was going to look like and I thought that the story line was very good too! I would recommend for young kids learning to read. :) "

" Great read aloud--even my almost 3 year old sat and listened to it. She was even able to tell me some of the details at the end. She loved that it had pictures on each page. The chapters are short and quick to read. My almost 5 year old loved it too! "

" This is a fun story about a little girl with a vivid imagination, who makes friends with a dinosaur. It's an interesting commentary on growing up and losing your sense of wonder and belief in magic. Our girls enjoy this story and we've borrowed it a couple of times from the library. "

" Boo had found a real dinosaur and she had been riding on it. When the Dino left, it gave boo a magic cape that she could fly when no one was looking. It was really cool. "
