In this delightful book, a small boy imagines a world where dinosaurs perform public services. "Bold lines accentuate imaginative, humorous ideas. A natural for student response: students formulate their own outcomes about what would happen if the dinosaurs returned. An overwhelming favorite in the early grades."—The Reading Teacher

A humorous speculation on what really happened to make the dinosaurs disappear.
