Bookroo's summary

When a mysterious egg hatches into a dinosaur, a young boy's life turns upside down. He must learn to care for his colossal new friend, from feeding it breakfast to managing its massive messes. Can he handle the prehistoric pet's demands, or will the dinosaur prove too much to handle? Discover the whimsical adventures and unexpected challenges of raising a dinosaur in a modern world.

From the publisher

What would you do if, instead of a cat or a goldfish, you had a dinosaur for a pet? Well, that’s exactly what happens to the little boy in this story when an enormous egg appears at his house one day. Day by day, he learns exactly how to look after his dinosaur: what to feed it for breakfast, where to take it for walks, and, perhaps most difficult of all, how to deal with dinosaur-size poop!
