The Dinosaur that Pooped Christmas by Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter
My rating: 5/5 cats
THIS BOOK!!
in the words of the author(s)
where have you been all my life??
this book is just insane amounts of fun. the premise is very simple: danny is a greedy little boy who learns an important lesson about why we don’t try to test the limits of santa’s generosity. because santa has tricks up his sleeve, and ways to make naughty boys into nice boys for next year’s reckoning.
santa leaves danny a single present – a giant dinosaur egg.
which hatches.
and the dinosaur goes nuts, eating everything in sight – the tree, the decorations, danny’s family…
also santa, which seems like an oversight on santa’s part.
and this makes danny sad.
which makes the dinosaur sad
With the feeling of guilt
In the dinosaur’s gut,
Its brain brewed a plan
involving its butt.
It knew there was only one thing it could do:
To put Christmas right, it needed to…
amazing.
please forgive those squiggly lines – i still haven’t learned how to photograph off of a NOOK properly. the camera sees things invisible to the naked eye.
but so back to the poo
and it’s a christmas miracle.
christmas is restored, just with a little more poo than anticipated on the decorations and whatnot.
and everyone learns a lesson.
i love this book so much.
and i MUST read the other books in the series, because one can never have too many books about poo.
also – behold – there is a GAME attached to this book that you can play for FREE and it has just eaten up a lot of my time. i am very bad at it, but it is FUN.
now it’s your turn to fall into a timesuck:
