All he wants is a puppy, but he gets a triceratops instead! When a boy asks his mother for a pet, she says no. Then the boy finds a giant dinosaur egg at his neighbor's yard sale. The neighbor, Mr. Jerry, claims the dinosaur egg is real. That night, a baby triceratops hatches and leads the boy on a dinosaur adventure. "Do something," says Mom when her house becomes surrounded by a prehistoric herd. Soon the boy makes the dinosaurs disappear. And Mom rewards him with a puppy! Every child will identify with the longing for a pet and the tender parent-child relationship and, at the same time, revel in rollicking dinosaur fun!

I began illustrating books in 1966. Since that time I have published over 300 books. Most of my books are about things that happened to me when I was a little kid. Now I'm a big kid and I write about things that happen now, especially with my own children. They always remind me of what it was like. I was born in Arkansas in 1943. Boy, that was a long time ago! It's real fun to be an old kid. Then my parents moved to Hawaii when I was thirteen years old. After High School, I went to Honolulu Academy of Arts. Then I moved to New York City. My wife, Gina, and I write the Little Critter stories together. For more information, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercer\_M...
