When a ferocious dinosaur threatens his family, young Hal must act quickly to protect his parents and dog, Billy. Armed with only his wits and a surprising weapon—spaghetti—Hal embarks on a daring rescue mission. Can he outsmart the beast and restore peace? This playful adventure promises laughter and suspense, as Hal discovers that sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective. Dive into this charming tale where courage and creativity collide in the most unexpected showdown.

From the publisher

Here’s a book that begs to be read aloud. From the very first ?GRRRRRR!? and ?ROAR!? of the Super Hungry Dinosaur, kids will be rooting for Hal to save his parents and his dog, Billy, from the huge beast. And Hal saves them in the most unusual way (hint: It involves spaghetti) in this delightful twist on the tantrum story from well-loved and bestselling author Martin Waddell and debut illustrator Leonie Lord.
