Synopsis
When his parents return from Kenya with a cute little green lizard on his eighth birthday (he’s two times two times two), Jacob Two-Two is thrilled. But it isn’t long before Jacob realizes that his new pet Dippy isn’t a lizard after all. And as months pass, it is apparent Dippy isn’t so little either. Soon Dippy is attracting all sorts of unwanted attention and before he knows it, Jacob is on the run from the Canadian government with a full-grown dinosaur to hide.

Review
"There is a reckless momentum to Richler's narrative, a rhythm of slap-dash invention that mimics the frantic pace of childhood fantasy. Yet Richler's tale is well-ventilated with adult wit."-"Maclean's"

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Illustrated by Eyolfson, Norman (illustrator). Book Club (BCE/BOMC). Spine very slightly slanted, corners somewhat bumped. DJ shows minor edgewear along top, bottom edge has three small closed tears, corners slightly bumped. A bright, attractive copy. "Whose parents would give their 8-year-old son a dinosaur for a pet? Not Jacob Two-Two's parents--at least not intentionally. But Dippy, as Jacob names him because of the thoughtful way he dips his head, is not the cute little green lizard everyone thinks he is. In fact, he's no lizard at all, and as the months pass it becomes painfully obvious that he's not little either. As Dippy grows bigger. . . and bigger. . . and bigger, he begins to attract some very big attention--and before Jacob knows exactly why or how, he is on the run from the entire Canadian government with a full-grown genuine Diplodocus dinosaur to hide." A background in editorial commentary is evidenced in the unusual black and white illustrations by Norman Eyolfson Age Level: Grades 3-7; 7¾" - 9¾" Tall. Seller Inventory # 002895
