Frank and his cousin Sam believe anything is possible. They have a pet dinosaur, after all! So when Frank's dad tells them he saw a Nothosaurus in the river, they can't wait to look for it on their camping trip. The Notho is a prehistoric reptile, not a dinosaur . . . but is she dangerous? There's only one way to know for sure: find that dinosaur--er, reptile!

The hilarious Dino Files chapter book series follows a nine-year-old dinosaur expert, his paleontologist grandparents, a cat named Saurus, and dinosaurs that aren't so extinct

Horn Book Review

To avoid the press after photos of their dinosaur, Peanut, surface online, future paleontologist Frank, his fame-hungry cousin Sam, and Frank's dad take Peanut camping and discover a Nothosaurus, a prehistoric water reptile. Despite some illogical character motivations, this third book is an action-packed romp full of prehistoric creature facts; exaggerated cartoon illustrations add visual variety for new chapter-book readers.
