A dinosaur’s school-day detour

Danny’s dinosaur friend follows him to school, where ordinary routines quickly prove tricky for a prehistoric visitor: the bus is too small, and the lunch is not quite dinosaur-sized. The story’s central comic idea is the contrast between school as Danny knows it and the dinosaur’s decision to learn in his own way. As a Level One I Can Read book, it is designed for children beginning to sound out words and sentences, making the school adventure a simple setting for early-reading practice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginning readers working on sounding out words and sentences.
  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous stories about dinosaurs and school.

Book overview

Readers first fell in love with Danny and his prehistoric pal in the I Can Read classic Danny and the Dinosaur, created by Syd Hoff in 1958. Now the popular pair is together again in this hilarious school-day adventure sure to win over a new generation of beginning readers.

Why don't dinosaurs go to school? In Danny and the Dinosaur: School Days, the dinosaur gets curious and follows his friend Danny to school! But Danny's buddy is too big to ride the school bus, and school lunch isn't quite right for a dinosaur... So, he decides to do school his own way--dino style--and it turns out to be the best class ever!

Danny and the Dinosaur: School Days is a Level One I Can Read, which means it's perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences.
