A Dinosaur Named Gus
Most dinosaurs were giant things, I'm sure you will agree.
Some were the height of houses. Some stood taller than a tree.
Some were as big as rockets, and as heavy as a bus.
But did you know there was a little dinosaur named Gus?
A Dinosaur Named Gus is a picture book about a clever little dinosaur who likes to invent things.
One day Gus notices a volcano eruption and runs to help save the other dinosaurs.

one improvement i would make would be the ability to enlarge the kindle pages ...now i don't get why some of these KU books allow that function?? but this one is not the case. u cannot take your fingers and make the text or illustrations enlarge??! whereas some you can do that??! and that really would make it great for little ones or big kids like myself to really enjoy your illustrations and text even more. that would be a huge plus. now the words and illustrations are pretty large relatively speaking but would really enjoy it if you could enlarge them, it is not like some that you cannot read the text unless you get a magnifying glass. they are not that tiny so that is a plus, i never know if it is a publisher thing or a Amazon thing, does Amazon allow the zooming in and enlarging of text or??!? ...i read through KU ...if you have that service.

great!
As always, Elwyn Tate delivers a great little kid’s book that my daughter and I love. There’s a load of budget kid’s books out there where the rhyming is awful, but Elwyn’s work stands way above that. A master of verse in both rhythm and rhyme, with outstanding illustration to boot. Funny and lovely.

Very cute. Zero historical accuracy. Gus is a better person than I am.

Good for little kids
But misleading and dishonest about what happened to dinosaurs. And a bit boring honestly even for kids. But it’s great!

clever book
Very nicely done! My 3-year-old enjoyed it. It was absolutely oozing with optimism. A nice take on how the dinosaurs got extinct.

Clever story
Several of the rhymes sounded forced. Would have been better to write in pure prose. Good illustrations and interesting hero.
