Booklist Review

After playing pirates in Haggis and Tank Unleashed (2015), the dog pals are back for another exciting, imaginative playtime adventure. Ever proper Scottie dog Haggis enjoys starting his day by trimming his mustache and polishing his dog tag; meanwhile, Tank, a Great Dane, happily reads her dinosaur book. Discovering their backyard was once a dinosaur habitat, Tank enthusiastically begins excavating. Though the venture is initially disappointing Haggis won't help, and Tank only finds an old tennis ball eventually, after Tank's coaxing, both don expedition gear and travel to dinosaur days. Their dino search turns eventful after encountering enormous footprints, dinosaur eggs (which they try to help hatch), and a not-so-friendly triceratops, which unexpectedly becomes a playmate. But when a fearsome T. rex and erupting volcano appear on the scene, they are sent scattering. Thankfully, just when things seem most dire, the forest morphs back into more familiar and safer terrain. The narrative's simply constructed sentences describe events, while the colorful comics panels, lively dialogue in word balloons, and amusing commentary and wordplay further extend the story and add fun detail. Once again, the delightful pooch duo shines in this entertaining, fast-paced, and fun read.--Rosenfeld, Shelle Copyright 2016 Booklist
