danny and the dinosaur

so, eric read me danny and the dinosaur last night. it's a pleasant story about a boy named danny who was visiting a museum and wished that he could play with a dinosaur, and viola the dinosaur came to life! the dinosaur looks female with soft features, but is referred to as him in the story. so they play throughout the day (danny riding on the neck of the dinosaur) and obey all the laws, such as stopping at the red light and not eating grass because it said "keep off" but defy logic when danny moves electric wires for danny (because he's so big) without getting electrocuted. it was a cute story with some strange undertones but i can see why eric enjoyed it (how can you top an adventure with a dinosaur?)

side note: i added a biography for danny which included building things in the backyard using a bucket of nails and plywood. :)

thanks amber for reminding me to share our thoughts about the book.
