In "What Happened to Patrick's Dinosaurs" the author takes us on a pleasant romp through the imagination of a dinosaur lover. Patrick tells his brother Hank of the times when Dinosaurs did all the work for their beloved humans, making them cars, roads, and houses. Although his brother Hank tries to correct and question Patrick, Patrick has an answer for everything, logical and intreguing.The illustrations in the book are a delight as well. From cloud formations and star contellations in the shape of dinasaurs, to pictures of dinosaurs wearing clown make-up to put on a show.
Buy both Patrick books at the same time. This one is even nicer that the first one. It is silly and wonderful and the illustrations are grand. The dinos are the stars of the book and they positively shine! My 4 soon to be 5 grandson has worn out the pages of the used copy I bought...which has an inscription in it from some other grandma to her grandson...a detail that only added to the charm of the book. This is pure man-beast love affair stuff as the dinos knock themselves out making the world a better place and between the covers of this book they succeed.
Such wonderful illustrations and a great children's story for anybody who loves dinosaurs. He loved the first book so I had to buy the second one. I wish they wrote more and continued the adventure I would buy them all.
My second grade student said:Do you know what happened to the dinosaurs? If not, then you should read What Happened To Patrick's Dinosaurs. First, Patrick rakes leaves. Next, his brother ask a question. Then they talk about dinos. Finally they be lazy. I like this book because it has good illustrations.Marie, age 8
I loved this book because they had a lot of fun and had a lot ofdetails and it was very interest and funny to me.
I bought this book for my 5-year-old who had recently become very fond of dinosaurs. What I didn't realize is how closely the character Patrick would mirror my son. My son can make up stories all day about incredible things. I was actually a little bit concerned that he lacked a grasp on reality. Listening to Patrick weave a detailed far-fetched story about how dinosaurs and man lived together one time with the dinosaurs taking care of the people like pets and then what finally became of them, I realized that my son was a normal after all! :-)The story is well written from the child's point of view and entertaining for both children and adults. I don't give this good review lightly. I have been seriously disappointed in most of what passes for children's literature these days and this book is the kind of story that makes it fun to read and listen to.
