Having a pet dinosaur is no joke. From dealing with a Velociraptor’s speed to figuring out how to feed it, owning a dino is hard work! Before they adopt a fully-grown Velociraptor, help readers explore, through humorous, narrative text, what it would take to actually have a pet dinosaur. This is a high-interest topic perfect for all students, but it will be especially engaging for struggling or reluctant readers. Discussion questions are included for further conversation and debate. A table of contents, glossary with pronunciations, further resources, and an index enhance comprehension for developing readers.
