Danny and the Dinosaur Go To Camp

I bought this book for my grandson. My grandson class went to see the dinosaur Sue at the Science Center is St. Louis with his class in school. He is beginning to read & he loves books.

Danny & The Dinosaur go to camp

This is a fun book, filled with colorful pictures. My kids just love to read it over and over again. Another good one by Syd Hoff.

Dany and the dino

This is the third and last book about Danny and the dinosaur. In this book Danny takes the dinosaur with him to summer camp. Of course they have unusual adventures. This book tells about their first day at camp.The story flows much better than either of the previous two Danny and the dinosaur books, but the story still lacks a certain charm and the plot still feels rather strained. Illustration wise both Danny and the dinosaur look a lot more like they did in the first book. All of the pictures are cute and I find it amazing how expressive a dinosaur's face can be. I do find however, that the way they chose to color in the pictures makes them look rather harsh.The reason I give this book four stars and not five is that it is still missing some charm that I know this author can provide, because he did so with Sammy the Seal.Loggie-log-log-log

Charming Addition to Mr. Hoff's Danny & the Dinosaur Series

Danny's big Jurassaic age pal is back for another adventure. Danny returns to the museum and takes his friend the dinosaur to summer camp where they experience a typical day in the life of a camper. Mr. Hoff's has hit his mark again. Danny and the dinosaur go to camp offers a clear and simple presentation of the kinds of values we should all strive for. The dinosaur potentially a creature of fear, is gentle, noble and considerate. Values such as acceptance of those unlike ourselves, sharing, participation and friendship are expressed with simple eloquence in both word and illustration. While meant for early readers, the story is engaging for all ages. This book may also help allay the fear of detachment experienced by many children prior to attending their first summer in camp.
