Memories...
I remember reading this book cover to cover when I was a kid. Robin Klein has done so many great things in the field of literature... and this is one of them. There are so many positive lessons to learn here like always be kind to people, don't throw tantrums when you can't have what you want and when you have children of your own? DON'T SPOIL 'EM!!!!!

The sequel to Thing. I wasn't really a huge dinosaur kid - some exceptions, of course - so this was never my favourite series.

Thing was adorable. All I'm gonna say, all that needs to be said. If you have kids; get this book for them, dammit.
