Olivia's dinosaur can play the trumpet while riding her bike, and her house is in the shape of a rabbit. Her dinosaur can make her own jam, and she even eats electric eels. But Joel's dinosaur can swim like a shark, and his teeth sometimes glow in the dark. And he's really good at jumping and sliding on his knees, he has x-ray vision, and he's not afraid of bees. Of course, with so many impressive qualities, it's hard to say which dinosaur is really better, but things get even trickier when a third dinosaur joins them at the dinner table. What could be more fearsome than a dinosaur that once ate a volcano and wears slippers the color of rainbows?
