Bookroo's summary

A young boy dreams of a world where dinosaurs return to perform public services. As he imagines these prehistoric giants aiding in daily tasks, the possibilities seem endless. What would life be like with dinosaurs as helpers? Dive into this whimsical exploration and discover the surprising roles these ancient creatures could play in modern society. Will the boy's imagination inspire others to see the world differently?

From the publisher

In this delightful book, a small boy imagines a world where dinosaurs perform public services. “Bold lines accentuate imaginative, humorous ideas. A natural for student response: students formulate their own outcomes about what would happen if the dinosaurs returned. An overwhelming favorite in the early grades.”–The Reading Teacher
