It has sold over six million copies and has been translated into a dozen languages. The book inspired two sequels by Syd Hoff: Happy Birthday, Danny and the Dinosaur! and Danny and the Dinosaur Go to Camp. It also won the distinction of "New York Times Outstanding Book of the Year". Danny and the Dinosaur is designated an I Can Read! Book. PlotThe story opens up with a young boy named Danny. And he goes to the museum, where he sees other things. Finally, he immediately gets drawn to the dinosaur exhibit and is delighted to find a living dinosaur. He thinks, "I am sorry that they aren't real". Then he says he thinks it would be nice to play with one. One of the dinosaurs come up to Danny. And the voice belongs to one of the dinosaurs. The dinosaur says, "And I think it would be nice to play with you". Both agree to play with each other, and Danny rides out of the museum on the dinosaur's neck. Danny and his dinosaur friend, they embark on an adventure-filled day, including:
The dinosaur is well-intentioned throughout the story, for he helps a lady cross the street, takes Danny across a river and lets the children use him as a slide. The dinosaur is also a celebrity, as the illustrations show hundreds of people leave the zoo to play with Danny. Finally, Danny meets his friends. The other children get to ride the dinosaur too. Then, Danny and the children all play with the dinosaur until the day is over. At the end of the story, all the other children (after it gets late) return home at sunset. Then, Danny and the dinosaur become alone. The dinosaur says goodbye. But Danny asks the dinosaur if he can come and be with him. The dinosaur says "No", and tells Danny his reason. He says, "The best I have had in a hundred million years. But now, I must go back to the museum. They need me there". After telling Danny about how the museum needs him, Danny (obedient about the dinosaur's words), says to him, "Oh. Well, goodbye". After the dinosaur is out of sight, Danny goes home alone. While walking home, Danny thinks about one of the things first stated in the story; he wants a dinosaur for a pet. But he (even though he wants to keep the dinosaur as a pet), realizes a dinosaur is too big to live at his house, by saying, "Oh well. We don't have room for a pet that size anyway. But we did have a wonderful day”. After he concludes his line, he goes back inside the house. External links
