Synopsis
The bestselling, tongue-in-cheek guide to choosing and rearing your pet dinosaur, from lap dinosaurs to less tractable beasts., Hollywood and the popular press would have us believe that all dinosaurs are gigantic, hostile and untameable. In fact, there are many species that make charming and even useful companions. From Compsognathus (mild-mannered and affectionate - once it has learnt to recognise its owner) to Deinonychus (will not eat dog food - dogs are another matter) this book advises you which dinosaur is right for you and your home, from the city apartment dweller looking for a lap pet, to the country estate owner looking to tighten up on security. HOW TO KEEP DINOSAURS is packed with the sort of information keen dinosaur keepers crave - from feeding and housing to curing common ailments, breeding and showing your animal. It will even tell you where you can purchase your new pet. The author, a zoologist with extensive experience of dinosaurs, has provided a timely and much-needed source book for all those who keep dinosaurs and for the huge numbers who are contemplating getting one. It is as essential to every dinosaur keeper as a stout shovel and a tranquilizer rifle., Now running wild with all dinosaur (and humor) lovers: the "home care" guide to these rowdy pets. It's funny, its irresistible, it's been a bestseller-and now it's available at an amazing new, low price. " A] delightful, tongue-in-cheek guide to the care and feeding of dinosaurs."--"VOYA" Congratulations You're bringing home your very first pet dinosaur. But there's so much to think about. Which dino gets on well with children? What kind of food does it eat (and how can you avoid becoming its meal)? What bed would make it feel completely comfy?With tongue planted firmly in cheek, this "dino owner's manual" amusingly explains what every human needs to know before adopting a new saurus. Find out what should go into the basic toolkit (a stout shovel is helpful and so are reinforced gauntlets); which species thrive in household life and which will cause BIG problems; and what dinosaurs are just right for circuses and zoos, in security, and for giving eggs and meat. For every dinosaur covered, there's information on feeding, breeding, housing, and availability; maps of where they lived; details on weight and size; as well as other pertinent facts. The illustrations cleverly mix photography and art to bring humans and dinos together for the first time, and show the animals in domestic situations. This creative and fun approach will stir everyone's imagination, and is surely the most amusing way to learn about dinosaurs ever. Robert Mash earned advanced degrees in zoology from Oxford University. He lives in a thatched cottage in Dorset, England with his wife...and pet Hysilophodon. The much-honored zoologist, author, and Oxford professor Richard Dawkins has received, among others, the Royal Society of Literature Award and the Los Angeles Times Literary Prize.

Laughable Dinosaurs
I was initially interested in this book because of the forward by Richard Dawkins. He is an intriguing, enlightening and witty scientist, and I thought anything to which he was willing to attach his name must be worthy of my perusal. This turned out to be quite true with "How To Keep Dinosaurs". Very witty, full of fun 'facts' and as thorough as any real pet guide, this book delivers brilliance on every page! It made me with dinosaurs weren't extinct...at least, some of them! An excellent read.
