When Dinosaurs Came With Everything by Elise Broach


What starts as an ordinary day turns into anything but when all of Mom's errands wind up giving a little boy more and more dinosaurs! The first stop is the donut shop, but instead of a donut, the little boy gets a dinosaur! Even a trip to the doctor results in a free dinosaur. Dinosaurs are everywhere in town following their new, young owners. After four dinosaurs, Mom has had enough and heads home. There, the boy plays with the dinosaurs in the backyard. Mom is nervous until the dinosaurs actually start helping out with household chores. Then she comes to accept them, as long as the boy is taking care of them.
Wonderful water-color illustrations accompany this fantastic story and show the expressions of the characters and make their thoughts quite obvious, even to the youngest reader.
