About this ebook
All fans of Julia Donaldson's should read the enchanting tale of The Dinosaur's Diary.
Surviving and finding a safe place to lay her eggs is difficult for Hypsilophodon with dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus Rex around. When she falls into a mysterious pool and finds herself on a modern farm there are still problems. Finally she finds a safe place to hatch her babies, but how can she keep thirteen baby dinosaurs safe and secret? When the farmer catches one - Hector - and plans to take him to the vet, it's up to Hypsilophodon and her fiesty daughter, Henrietta, to get him back. After a daring rescue, Hypsilophodon takes all her youngsters back through the mysterious pool to her own world.

The sample only goes as far as the contents, it'd be nice to be able to read an actual page of the story. NO SALE

Doesn't really give a taste of things to come as the sample consists of nothing but a page of chapter headings.
