Dilly the Dinosaur

I loved this book when I was a kid and I came across it randomly, while doing some online shopping. Now I'm reading it to the 6 year old whom I nanny for and she loves it too. A great book for every age.

I got these in New Zealand when I was very little, 4-6?. The review above says they're "predictable". I didn't care when I was little, I loved them. These aree stories of a mischievous dinosaur and his interactions with the world around him. I'm an insomniac, I always have been. My father told the day care centre that they should let me read during nap time, and this is what I read, so it carries many affectionate memories for me. I hope it will for your child or any child you read to, or give the book to to read.

I love Dilly stories. The students just love that power scream of his. They hold their ears when I yell out Dilly's scream. I created a Dilly puppet which the kids get to hold while I read. It has a moving mouth. I even created a Dilly Puppet Theater out of a refrigerator box. I want to get as many Dilly stories as I can. I have 'Dilly Dinosaur' and 'Dilly Goes To The Dentist'. This little guy should be a video. There are a few sketches scattered here and there, but these stories are so vivid in their minds as I read them, they don't even ask to see any pictures. I just think he is a bundle of orneriness. He's your human, devilish, little boy. He has the temper tantrums the kids can relate to. I just love Dilly. Does anyone have any of the other Dilly Dinosaur stories? They are out of print. I've been reading these 2 books for the last 5 years.
