Grade 2-4 This account of the misadven tures of a trouble-prone young dinosaur aspires to be a reptilian Ramona the Pest , but it misses the mark. The four predictable easy-to-read stories about Dilly's mischief, related by his harried older sister, have no connection to the dinosaur angle, other than in the sketchy black-and-white illustrations. Dilly and family live in a comfortable modern home, complete with television! This lack of attention to dinosaur details is sure to disturb primary grade dinosaur fans. Elaine E.
