Danny And The Dinosaur [60th Anniversary Edition]

Description

Danny loves dinosaurs! When he sees one at the museum and says, "It would be nice to play with a dinosaur," a voice answers, "And I think it would be nice to play with you." So begins Danny and the Dinosaur's wonderful adventures together. For Danny and his prehistoric playmate, even the most everyday activities become extraordinary, like finding a big-enough place to hide a dinosaur in a game of hide-and-seek. Kids will delight in Syd Hoff's charming, funny illustrations as they read about how Danny teaches a very old dinosaur some new tricks. This brand-new edition of Syd Hoff's beloved I Can Read title commemorates the 60th Anniversary of I Can Read books. The book features a foil cover, an anniversary burst, and eight pages of bonus material on the history of I Can Read, including an early Danny and the Dinosaur cover sketch.

Syd Hoff was born and raised in New York City. He studied at the National Academy of Design and sold his first cartoon to The New Yorker when he was eighteen. He eventually became one of the most original and beloved authors and illustrators of children's books. Mr. Hoff wrote more than fifty books for children, including the I Can Read titles Danny and the Dinosaur, Oliver, and Sammy the Seal.
