Bookroo's summary

Got a dinosaur lounging in your living room? Discover its surprising uses—from a can opener to a burglar alarm. This whimsical guide explores the imaginative and absurd possibilities of having a dinosaur as a household helper. But beware, not all tasks are dino-friendly! Dive into this playful adventure and learn how to keep your prehistoric pal around for ages. What will you use your dinosaur for today?

From the publisher

A hugely popular picture book, now available in oversized board book format for our youngest dino-lovers. If you happen to have a dinosaur, lying around your living room, and you don’t know what to do with it…why don’t you use it as a can opener? It will make a terrific nutcracker too! There are oodles of uses for a dinosaur – from a fine umbrella to an excellent kite and a dandy pillow, not to mention a reliable burglar alarm and the perfect excuse to forget your homework. This delightfully absurdexploration of the domestic uses of dinosaurs – and the things dinos just aren’t good for at all – is guaranteed to tickle funny bones and spark imaginations. If you read carefully, you’ll learn how to make your dinosaur last a very long time.
