Joyce, William Dinosaur Bob and His Adventures with the Family Lizardo, PICTURE BOOK. Atheneum Books for Young Readers, 2017 (originally published in 1988). $17.99. Content: G.
The wealthy Family Lizardo is on an amazing adventure. One day, while in Africa, Scotty Lizard wanders off and comes back with a dinosaur the family names Bob. Bob is a wonderful find, entertaining (he plays the trumpet) and exciting - he’s enormous, and popular! But when the Lizardos bring him back to Pimlico Hills, he doesn’t fit in very well - most people there love him, but some find him disconcerting and want him gone.
A reissue of this picturebook introduces a new generation of readers to Joyce’s vintage looking illustrations and eclectic humor. Full color and marvelous, there is a lot to look at and talk about in this wonderful read aloud. There’s a song at the end, with simple music and cords - So we can even sing about Bob. Mommy, can I keep him?
