Little Gems – Joe and the Dragonosaurus
Berlie Doherty, Becka Moor
Charming countryside tale about the bond between children and animals, perfect for younger fans of Michael Morpurgo. High quality cream paper and a special easy to read font ensure a smooth read for all. When Joe's teacher announces the new class project will be all about their pets, Joe turns glum – there's no animals allowed in his house. So when he starts to invent a pet, his imagination turns wild and the dragonosaurus is born! There's lots of fun to be had with his new 'pet', but when Joe notices something amiss on the neighbouring farm the dragonosaurus is quickly abandoned. Perhaps an animal to call his own is closer than Joe thinks. Charming countryside tale about the bond between children and animals, perfect for younger fans of Michael Morpurgo. High quality cream paper and a special easy to read font ensure a smooth read for all.
Reviews
I thought it was a very good book as Joe didn't have a pet at the start, then he imagined one. In the end he had a real one of his very own.

I didn't like the book. I thought it was boring. I didnt like that the dragon had 11 legs. There were no baddies in it. No I dont recommend this book. Maybe for under 8s.

Joe helped a calf. I liked it because he prevented had a pet dragon. My favourite character was the dragonosaurus because he was a made up pet. Everyone should read this because they would find the story exciting!

I thought the book was really interesting. I like the book because Joe is kind when helping the calf. It has my favourite car in the book which is a Land Rover. I would recommend the book because it is extremely good.

Dragonosaurus was a very interesting and imaginative animal. Joe was irresponsible and careless while running around. Joe zapped the cow. it was sad to see the cow being hurt. It was a fictional book and Joe was my favourite character. Yes, I will recommend this book.

It is a really good book. I loved the dragonosaurus. He was very clever. I also enjoyed the cow and that Joe looked after the calf when its mum was very poorly.

I liked that Joe stride up to Lizzie and stopped her boasting about all of her pets. It was a fun story.

I liked how he imagined a dragon/dinosaur and he helped a poor cow. The saddest bit was when the mum cow got badly hurt. I enjoyed this book. It had good pictures.

Joe didn’t have a pet and was very upset. He decided to make one up and made the dragonosaurus. He told one of his friends about it. Overnight he found a sick cow who had had a baby calf. He looked after the calf and at the end he got to keep the calf as his pet. I would recommend this book.

It was not really about the dragonosaurus it was mostly about a cow.
