I read this book as a child and have fond memories of the adventures on Cricket Creek. Now I have given this to my grand daughter, Cricket, who lives in Arizona and has hiked through the desert with me. Both of us tease each other about seeing a stegosaurus lurking about. What fun. This book served as an excellent segue into science, dinosaurs, history and family bonding and relationship responsibilities. The story is captivating for those who have a good imagination and can enjoy the fantasy the author has created. It is on par with the Phantom Toll Booth, though much shorter and with fewer allegories. Excellent writing and nice graphics.

I am reading it to my grandchildren, twin 7 year old boys, and they like it very much. Should be good for at least 7 to 9.

I loved this book as a kid. It is a gentle fantasy about a family that doesn't have a lot of money but they value each other. I gave a copy to my own daughter and a daughter of a friend.

A BLAST from my childhood past! I've always remembered this book from my childhood, and decided to rekindle those fond memories by purchasing and re-reading it as an adult. What a fun memory restored!

I had an early hardcover edition of this wonderful book which I loved reading as a kid. I loved dinosaurs and especially the stegosaurus. Somewhere along the way I lost the book but not the fond memories. Now I have it in paperback with a beautiful color cover plus all the dear black and while illustrations are there, too. This story goes a long way to offsetting the trauma of seeing the stegosaurus killed in the original KING KONG. Now my friend is back and lumbers along with me now and then when I need him. Thank you.
