About This Book

This little girl has been watching her grandpa for a very long time, and she is almost absolutely certain that he is a dinosaur. So why is it that nobody believes her? Why can’t anyone else see what she sees? He roars! (And no, it’s not just a snore.) He has green skin! (And no, he’s not from outer space.) He even has a tail! (And no, he’s not a horse!) Determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, the little girl goes straight to the source. It’s time to ask Grandpa once and for all: is he a

Our Review

This imaginative picture book explores the wonderful logic of a child who's convinced her grandfather is actually a dinosaur, presenting a charming case through the eyes of a determined young narrator. She carefully builds her evidence—his roaring snores, his green sweater that looks like skin, and what she perceives as a tail—while humorously dismissing alternative explanations from skeptical adults. The story captures how children observe and interpret the world around them with creative confidence, making this an engaging read-aloud that celebrates intergenerational relationships through a playful lens.

What makes this story particularly special is how it validates childhood imagination while building anticipation toward the grandfather's revealing response. The repetitive structure of evidence and rebuttals creates a delightful pattern that young listeners will quickly join in predicting, while the warm illustrations likely enhance the gentle humor of the situation. Families will appreciate how this book opens conversations about imagination, observation, and the special bond between grandparents and grandchildren, leaving readers smiling at the clever resolution of this dinosaur-sized mystery.
