If You Happen to Have a Dinosaur - by Linda Bailey

Book Synopsis

A hugely popular dinosaur picture book adventure, now available in paperback for the first time.

If you happen to have a dinosaur, lying around your living room, and you don't know what to do with it . . . why don't you use it as a can opener? It will make a terrific nutcracker too! There are oodles of uses for a dinosaur -- from a fine umbrella to an excellent kite and a dandy pillow, not to mention a reliable burglar alarm and the perfect excuse to forget your homework. This delightfully absurd exploration of the domestic uses of dinosaurs -- and the things dinos just aren't
good for at all -- is guaranteed to tickle funny bones and spark imaginations. If you read carefully, you'll learn how to make your dinosaur last a very long time.
