A Review by Aslhy & Abrahan

This story is about a dinosaur who used to live in a kid's backyard. When he was born, the egg was as big as a basketball. If the dinosaur jumped, the boy's neighborhood would shake. We think the author wrote this story to show kids fun facts, and to tell kids what happened long ago. We give this story a five star rating, because it's good for kids under eight years old and it's funny.

A Review by Arthur & Gabe

This story is about a dinosaur that lived in a little boy's backyard. The dinosaur's foot was bigger than the little boy & girl's sandbox. By the time the dino was five, the dino was bigger than the children's car. We like that this story has dinos. We like the whole book. We think it would be for third graders and down.

The Dinosaur Who Lived In My Backyard

My son is 3 years old and totally into dinosaurs. He loves this book and we read it every night at bedtime. It is a book that relates the time of the dinosaur to todays world. Very good.

This was a hit

My 3yr old loved this book. We had several new books on dinosaurs to choose from, and this is one he wanted to read over again. It's simple content brought dinosaur comparisons into his every day life: sandbox, basketball, cars, schoolbus, hide and seek and more...
