Bumposaurus

By Penny McKinlay and Britta Teckentrup

Book Overview

Bumposaurus is a happy-go-lucky dinosaur who appears to be very accident-prone. Otherwise, why would he do such silly things as chewing on his sister's tail, talking to trees, or-worse-snuggling up to a big hungry T-Rex? Bumpy's parents think perhaps he's the adventurous type, but when Bumpy's grandmother comes to visit, she has a different idea. . . . Youngsters in need of glasses will especially appreciate this amusing tale that proves: Sometimes having four eyes is even better than two! Illustrated by Britta Teckentrup.

Great book for a child who needs glasses

This is a wonderful book for a child who is going to get or already has glasses and needs a little lift. Very sweet and uplifting, fun story.

Glad I bumped into this book

The Bumposaurus, by Penny Mckinlay, is the story of a baby brontosaurus who suffers from poor vision. The poor little brontosaurus is so blind he can't even find the way out of his egg. He keeps mistaking other dinosaurs for his food. His parents, unaware of their child's poor vision, give him several stern lectures on how "Dinosaurs don't eat other dinosaurs." You'll be delighted with how the brontosaurus and his family finally resolve his problem. The illustrations are silly. The text has wit to spare. I'm glad I accidentally bumped into The Bumposaurus. You will be as well....
