• W4241605989 abstract "Reviewed by: Buying, Training, & Caring for Your Dinosaur Kate Quealy-Gainer Rennert, Laura Joy . Buying, Training, & Caring for Your Dinosaur; illus. by Marc Brown. Knopf, 2009 [34p]. ISBN 978-0-375-83679-4 $16.99 Reviewed from galleys Ad 5-8 yrs If the typical domesticated fare of dogs and cats seems less than appealing to a prospective pet buyer, this irreverent owner's guide suggests a larger, although a bit prehistoric, critter: the dinosaur. The manual insists that there is a dinosaur for every kid, whether a pet's propensity to play fetch or to fly is desired or the ability to shoo pesky sisters with a spiky tail is a key selling point. Owners should be aware, however, that dinosaurs tend to eat quite a bit (and a hungry dinosaur is a danger to other beloved pets) and can be slightly difficult to travel with. While the tongue-in-cheek humor will certainly keep listeners giggling at first, the text goes on a bit too long and the joke wears thin after several repeats; meanwhile, the scattered bits of factual information are frustratingly inadequate, thus failing to sustain any extended interest. The gouache illustrations create a buoyant vibrancy that corresponds with the cheeky humor of the text, but several of the spreads are [End Page 125] overwhelmingly cluttered and mottled with clashing violet and green hues. A few instances of jagged lines and angles maintain the dignity of the more predatory dinosaurs, but the gently rounded faces and delightfully rotund bodies of the reptilian pets soothingly negate any perceived threat. While Broach's When Dinosaurs Came with Everything (BCCB 10/07) is a more successful visit of dinosaurs to the present day, lizard lovers may still appreciate this addition to the dinosaur collection.
