Mary Carmine: Daniel's Dinosaurs

Nearly all small boys love dinosaurs, and Daniel is no exception.

He lives and dreams dinosaurs, reading books about them in the library, drawing pictures of them and seeing imaginary dinosaurs wherever he goes.

In Daniel's world dinosaurs live next door, direct the traffic and operate the supermarket checkout.

Martin Baynton's gentle cartoons are just right for this delightful story. They have a simple, fresh quality but include lots of little details to surprise younger children.

First published in 1990, these reprints of much-loved New Zealand picture books are worth watching out for in bookstores.
