Syd Hoff's Dinosaur Stories and More by Syd Hoff
From Syd Hoff, famed creator of Danny and the Dinosaur, comes this collection of three rare books:Amy's Dinosaur features a forward-looking ecological theme. When Amy and her friends take a walk in the woods, they see lots of trash but no living creatures -- until they meet a dinosaur who can't stand to see the Earth endangered once again and encourages the kids to help him clean up.
Dinosaur Do's and Don't's, a gentle and humorous primer on manners, advises children to get out of bed when mother calls, bathe without being told, ask permission to go out and play, say thank you, and engage in other polite practices.
How to Draw Dinosaurs, an easy-to-follow guide to sketching dinosaurs just like Syd's, features diagrams that show four easy steps to creating a stegosaurus, dimetrodon, archaeopteryx, triceratops, and other well- and lesser-known prehistoric animals.
Syd Hoff has given much pleasure to children everywhere as the author and illustrator of numerous children's books, including the favorite I Can Read books Sammy the Seal, The Horse in Harry's Room, and the Danny and the Dinosaur books. Born and raised in New York City, he studied at the National Academy of Design. His cartoons were a regular feature in the New Yorker after he sold his first cartoon to that magazine at the age of eighteen. His work also appeared in many other magazines, including Esquire and the Saturday Evening Post, and in a nationally syndicated daily feature.
