Jacob Two-Two And The Dinosaur (1997)

About book Jacob Two-Two And The Dinosaur (1997)

My 7-year old daughter is quite enamored with the television show based on the Jacob Two-Two series so I decided to borrow the one installment that I found in our local library. As the story got underway she was more interested in the differences in character descriptions and illustration style between the book and the show than in what was taking place on page. While the show is right up her entertainment alley, much of the humor in this book was a little above her head and well below mine. We almost gave up on it but decided to see it through to the end. As the story neared its conclusion the quirky charm of Richler's writing and the absurdity of his characters began to win her over. Maybe we'll give another Jacob Two-Two book a shot down the road. Maybe she'll stick with the TV show.
