A hilarious survey

David Catrow's MAX SPANIEL: DINOSAUR HUNT provides another new book in a funny new series. Here Max Spaniel is not a dog but a 'great hunter' - with an eye for dinosaurs. He hunts with his eyes, nose and more - and has surprising results in this hilarious survey.

Wonderful!

I just bought this book for my 7 year old tonight. I was going to save it for Christmas, but couldn't. My daughter absolutely loved it. Needless to say, the illustrations are worth the price of the book.

a silly & fun early reading book!

What makes a great book for new readers? These books need simple sentences and words, yes, but most of all they need a story (and pictures) that makes kids laugh. Are you in search of a great book for your new reader? Dinosaur Hunt is a great early reader for kids in kindergarten and 1st grade who are now reading full sentences. It would also be perfect for preschoolers who loves silly stories and illustrations. Max is not your typical dog. He is a hunter, a skilled and persistent hunter. He will track down the biggest beast of them all - a dinosaur. So Max tracks down the head, and then the body. But as all kids know, you can build a dinosaur out of anything. The illustrations are wonderful. Zany and silly, they draw you right in. This is perfect for kids who want a silly story. Catrow is the illustrator of many books, but this is his first as both author and illustrator - you can tell that he loves dogs.
