Bookroo's summary
During a zoo trip, young Patrick's fascination with dinosaurs spirals into vivid daydreams of these ancient giants roaming the earth once more. As his brother Hank shares dinosaur facts, Patrick's imagination runs wild, conjuring thrilling and terrifying scenarios. What if these colossal creatures were alive today? Dive into a world where the line between reality and fantasy blurs, and discover Patrick's inventive take on the mystery of dinosaur extinction. Will his imagination get the better of him, or will he uncover something extraordinary?
From the publisher
One Saturday while visiting the zoo, Hank tells his brother Patrick all about dinosaurs, and Patrick scares himself by imagining what it would be like if the great creatures were alive today. “Skillfully blends fact and fancy and will prove popular with the never-ending supply of young dinosaur enthusiasts.” – School Library Journal
