Dinosaur Daydreams
An Apatosaurus Would NOT Make a Good Spy
Artie the Apatosaurus wants to be a secret agent, but at 40 feet tall he is not very secret! He is terrible at hiding, he can't disguise himself, and he is too slow to chase bad guys. In fact, being an Apatosaurus is exactly what makes Artie an awful spy! This hilarious picture book from the Dinosaur Dreams series includes discussion questions, an interactive look-and-find fact section, and dinosaur facts.

This spoof of a book can help kids to have a laugh at a wannabe secret agent who is 40 feet tall.
His name: Artie the Apatosaurus
Besides his considerable height, what are Artie's other disqualifications for becoming a spy?
* No good at hiding
* Clueless about how disguise himself
* Too slow a runner to chase after -- and actually catch -- bad actors.
EDUCATIONAL FICTION ALERT
Besides the entertainment value, which is considerable, this book comes with bonuses.
- Discussion questions
- A look-and-find fact section
- And more dinosaur facts than most picture book readers know. (At least yet.)
FIVE STARS for an entertaining book that will appeal to smart readers.

I loved this. I would say it's better for older picture book readers, just because there are so many details on each page.
I like how the book was written though, the text to page quantity was good. I really liked the illustrations too, they were so cute.
I also liked that the ending included questions, facts about the Apatosaurus as well as a glossary and discussion questions. It all makes it a great book for teaching comprehension to children.
I would absolutely recommend to kids as well as to teachers for story time.

This is a fun book about why a apatosaurus should not be a spy.
