Why read it?
1 author picked Max Spaniel as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Charming artwork, with a touch of the silly, like all of Catrowās books. Catrow gets into the head of his adorable mutt main character as he searches the house and backyard, coming up with all sorts of household and garden items that have no remote connection to dinosaurs. Undaunted, our hero continues his search, interpreting tools and toys for dino body parts, until miraculously his creature comes to life!
From Frans' list on childrenās books that tickled my toes.
