Dogs are delightful. Cats are cute. Fish are fun. But the best pet of all is... a DINOSAUR. Hmm, but what kind of dino should you choose? Spiky, armored, humongous, pea-brained, plant-eater? How do you take care of him once he's (gulp) home? How do you feed him, exercise him, take him to the vet, and give him a bath? Not to mention train him, since he might like to chew on—er, swallow—Mom's new shoes.
Full of little-known info and sage advice, here's the definitive guide to dino ownership for kids everywhere!
