News Hounds: The Dinosaur Discovery

LoveReading4Kids Says

From the creator of The Adventures of Pug and Fabio the World’s Greatest Flamingo Detective, Laura James’ The Dinosaur Discovery, the second book in the News Hounds series, is a fabulously entertaining first reader, with Charlie Alder’s full-colour illustrations adding to the fun factor. It’s also a dream to read aloud, with characterful narration, a lively sense of adventure, and short chapters that’ll leave 5+ year-olds longing for more.

Alongside being a stationmaster, Bob is a roving reporter for the Daily Bark newspaper, with dachshund Gizmo at the helm as Editor-in-Chief. After encountering elegant Diamond at the station, a dog who’s new to town, Bob decides to make friends with her by digging up a bone as a gift. But what’s this?! Bob’s only gone and dug up an entire dinosaur skeleton! All manner of mayhem explodes after this makes the front page of the Daily Bark, and attracts the attention of a thief.
