Summary: Burned into my brain
Comment: This is a classic work, a brilliantly simple book, with a lovely fantasy story and exquisitely simple, highly memorable illustrations. Definitely a must for very young readers, especially dinosaur lovers.
Quite simply, Danny and the Dinosaur is forever burned into my brain as a favorite of my childhood, and now of my own children. It's Hoff's best, and I expect it will remain a classic for generations to come.

Summary: A Classic
Comment: AS I think back on my childhood htere are several books that helped to make me an advid reader. DANNY AND THE DINOSAUR is most definitely one. It is a pleasant story of a boy and his dinosaur. The adventures they have together are simple and beautiful. I remember reading this story over and over until the book was worn out. I remember sharing it with other children and reccomending it to many parents. It is a simple, fun, easy story that will lift your spirits and will encourage children to fall in love with books.

Summary: Dany and the dino
Comment: One day Danny decides to go to the museum where he meets a live dinosaur. Danny and the dinosaur then leave the museum and go exploring around town and have many adventures before it is time for the dinosaur to return to the museum.
The reason I only gave this book four stars is that I find the wording rather strained and awkward. Even though the words are not great, the illustrations are fun. Depending on the version, the illustrations are colored differently. The original (copyright 1958) has better colors in my opinion. They are a mix of pictures in shades of brown and pictures in full color. The main difference between the color quality in the original and reissue is that the reissue has a solid color, and the original almost look as if it were colored in lightly with crayons. I think the color in the reissue is harsher, and therefore prefer the previous. The drawing themselves are wonderful, cute and expressive.
So in my opinion this is a four star book because of the occasional awkwardness with the words and because of the way the pictures are colored in.
