When Danny and the dinosaur see that a “king” is coming to the museum they realize that they will need to be on their best behavior.  They team up and and work on improving their manners. It’s not easy learning new things but sticking with it and trying hard can make things happen. Although the king is not  the type of King they expected, Danny and his dinosaur are rewarded for their efforts with a first in line pass to view the mummy of King Tut.   First introduced in 1958,  this reboot of Danny  and the Dinosaur is likely to be as popular  as the earlier stories. The illustrations are bright and cheerful in the style of Syd Hoff.  This level 1 reader is great for beginning readers with its short sentences, familiar words and simple concepts.  A nice story that will work well for new readers.
