A caveman child (caveboy?) finds a large egg for breakfast but ends up with a troublesome pet instead. It's Flintstones-level science mixed with Clifford the Big Red Dog silliness.

I have definitely read far better Tomie books.

But I also am mindful that there are many little girls and boys who would like nothing better than a pet dinosaur do I will see how this appeals. ( )

"Little Grunt and the Big Egg" is a tale about friendship. After the egg that Little Grunt finds for family breakfast cracks open and a dinosaur hatches, Little Grunt gets a new pet. Unfortunately, she grows and grows to where she could no longer fit in the home. They had to say goodbye to each other, and their hearts broke. Their friendship triumphs as the dinosaur comes back to save Little Grunts family. ( )

This is a great pre-historic based fairy tale. Little Grunt finds a large egg to bring home to his family. To his surprise, when he left the egg overnight, out popped a dinosaur. Grunt kept the dinosaur as a pet but there was a problem. He grew so large he could not fit in the house,k so his family made him get rid of him. Little Grunt missed George, the dinosaur, so much. All of a sudden, the volcano near by started to erupt and George came to save the Grunt family. Children will love this fairy tale with its happy ending of George and Little Grunt being reunited.

This is a cute story of a little boy finding a dinosaur egg and having it as a pet. But his dinosaur grows too big and he has to release back into the wild. When a volcano near erupts and the family is trapped, the dinosaur comes back and saves them. It was written like they are caveman that could talk with words like "Ooga-ooga" and the names("Mama Grunt, Papa Grunt, Little Grunt, etc.). ( )
