The Super Hungry Dinosaur by Martin Waddell

The Super Hungry Dinosaur by Martin Waddell
This is a cute story about how The Super Hungry Dinosaur is on the hunt for something to eat. He stumbles upon this boy named Hal and exclaims he's going to eat him and his family. Hal stands up to him and refuses to let The Super Hungry Dinosaur scare him. The Super Hungry Dinosaur says he will then have to eat his dog, Billy. Hal ends up tying the dinosaur up with the hose and asks The Super Hungry Dinosaur gives up yet. In the end The Super Hungry Dinosaur helps Hal clean up the mess he made, but still says he's hungry. Hal's family ends up making the dinosaur some food and The Super Hungry Dinosaur becomes The Super Full Dinosaur. I think kids might see this as somewhat of a "hero" story, the way Hal saves his family and dog, and I think kids will probably just like the fact that a dinosaur is living among humans in the story. An enjoyable read!
