Daniel loved dinosaurs.  And everywhere he went, he imagined he saw them.  Until one day, his mother took him to visit the aquarium...

Like Daniel, my little one looooves dinosaurs.  This book greatly appeals as for the majority of the book there are dinosaurs all over it - Daniel even imagines people as dinosaurs.  He lives next door to two Plateosaurs.  His teacher is a Diplodocus but sometimes she is a Tyrannosaurus.  But when Daniel's mum takes him to the aquarium, he develops a new obsession with fish and sea-life, which just so happens to be another love of my little dude (and if there were bus riding sea creatures with a dino driving this really would be the perfect book for him).  Great illustrations and easy reading text, this book is a great any time read.  Has the added benefit of a glossary of the dinosaurs mentioned at the back.

4/5
