Review

This is the story of 2 friends who happen to be dogs. Tank is reading a book and decides that she would like to go on a dinosaur hunt. Haggis try's to explain that dinosaurs no longer roam the earth, but in the end agrees to go on the adventure. This is a well illustrated story - works a bit like a graphic novel because of the word bubbles for Haggis and Tank's dialog, but also has a story line to it. It's a nice early reader story, though some children may struggle with the dialog boxes.

Overall Book Score: good
