- W4231074509 abstract "Reviewed by: Dinosaur Hunt Deborah Stevenson Catrow, David . Dinosaur Hunt; written and illus. by David Catrow. Orchard/Scholastic, 200932p. (Max Spaniel) ISBN 978-0-545-05748-6$6.99 R Gr. 1-2 As his name would suggest, Max Spaniel, star of this new easy-reader series, is a dog, even though he himself would deny it in favor of claiming to be a great hunter. Today he's hunting dinosaur bones, and to that end he collects a motley aggregation of backyard detritus, which he fondly believes to be elements of dinosaur anatomy, and assembles them into a dinosaur-like shape—which, much to the startlement of the jeering cat, then comes alive. Though the plot is a bit list-reliant and hastily resolved, the vocabulary is successfully restricted, with the hunt for dinosaur parts documented in appropriately repetitive sentences; the text provides solid underpinning for the humor. What will really draw kids, however, is the comedic art, which carries much of the story and an even greater portion of the jokes. Catrow specializes in illustrations that go gleefully overboard, with scribbly lines, skewed shapes, and touches of lurid color adding a whiff of grotesquerie; pith-helmeted Max Spaniel is no laundered picture-book pup but a comradely pooch who looks like he smells of whatever he's digging up. Even without much of a story, this will appeal to novice readers, who'll appreciate the text's welcome repetition and relish both being in on the joke and witnessing the specter of a home-created dinosaur obtaining sentience.
