Another solid book by Carol Carrick.

I admit, I did turn to the end and read backwards.

Very nice story about an all too common occurrence of losing a pet. Happily they are reunited.

A big brother takes his VERY IMAGINATIVE little brother to the park and tells him ALL ABOUT dinosaurs. Little Patrick imagines them all in realistic detail. He’s freaking himself out before the end of the book when his brother tells him they’ve been gone for millions of years.The illustrations are priceless and two generations of kids in our family have reacted positively to Patrick and his flights of fancy.
