Danny and the Dinosaur (I Can Read Level 1) (I Can Read S.) (I Can Read Book S.)

by Syd Hoff

Syd Hoff (Illustrator)

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, comical illustrations as they read about how Danny teaches a very old dinosaur some new tricks. Originally published over 50 years ago, this beloved classic is a Level 1 I Can Read that is perfect for the beginning reader learning to sound out words and sentences.

1958. The initial copyright is 1958. When a book is still being published, recommended, and used as required reading again and again across various curricula. Our original copy was a hand-me-down Weekly Reader hardcover from my Enginerd's childhood. Then we found another hardcover copy, well-loved and beaten up at a used book store. Now, thanks to the I Can Read! subscription, my son has his own pristine paperback copy with vivid color illustrations.

Note, there is also an animated short telling this story on some streaming services.

I seriously wanted a dinosaur after this, even with all the trouble the kid gets into because of it.
