When a muddy, leaf-covered creature stomps into Eli's neighborhood, everyone is convinced it's a dinosaur! But while the neighbors panic over thunderous footsteps, enormous tracks, and silly mishaps, Eli notices clues everyone else overlooks a wagging tail, floppy ears, and a bright blue collar. With a calm voice and one simple command, Eli reveals that the frightening "dinosaur" is really Dash, an enormous and lovable rescue dog searching for a home. Dude, That's Not a Dinosaur! is a funny, heartwarming picture book about looking closer, staying curious, and not judging someone by their appearance.
