A Dinosaur Came for Breakfast — questions and answers
What is "A Dinosaur Came for Breakfast" about?
There is a dinosaur at the window and only two slices of toast. In MeStory's personalised edition your own child is the hero of all 24 pages. The book opens: Your child was eating cereal when something green filled the window. It had two enormous eyes and a very polite expression. "Good morning," said the dinosaur. "Is that toast I smell?"
What happens in the middle of "A Dinosaur Came for Breakfast"?
Halfway through the book the adventure turns: Your child thought hard, and then said, "To the other side, to work." Marigold liked that answer so much she wagged her whole tail. The wag knocked over the fence, which they later put back.
How does "A Dinosaur Came for Breakfast" end?
It closes gently, ready for bedtime: Your child filled it with water, and the birds came to splash. And on Sundays, Marigold comes back — with her own toast.
