Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS–After seeing some baby ducks on a farm, Harry and his bucketful of tiny, live dinosaurs (well, live to Harry anyway) wish for a duckling for Christmas, but they are enthralled by the baby Pterodactyl they receive instead. The story is very slim, and the cartoon creatures are rounded and cute almost to the point of unrecognizability, but very young dinophiles will probably like it anyway.–E. M.

This review is from: Harry and the Dinosaurs Make a Christmas Wish (Hardcover)

My son really enjoyed this book. It helped us prepare for the possibility that he may not get exactly what he wants for Christmas, but he may get something better.
