His comic strip Tuffy, about a little girl who did funny things, was declared essential for national morale during WWII by William Randolph Hearst.

Syd has worked in diverse genres. He had the distinct honor of working with Alfred Hitchcock and Ellery Queen as a contributor of short fiction writing.

I liked this story that Mike had read as a child. It is a fun adventure for a boy wanting to play with a dinosaur. I told Mike that I know why he likes this book - it has ice cream, rowing and baseball in it! He hadn't read it in several years so had forgotten about those elements of the book.

I loved it so much that I displayed it. I wish I could give it infinity stars. It's my favorite book.

[Donald · Rating 3 out of 5]

There are three stories in this collection, the first one of which is the original, a childhood favorite of mine! The other two are good, and all were fun to read to my five year old. I mean, a dinosaur that likes baseball and pizza? What's not to like?

Perfect for my six year old son to read alone or together. One of his favorite books.

Includes Danny and the Dinosaur; Happy Birthday, Danny and the Dinosaur; Danny and the Dinosaur Go To Camp.

I decided to do some heavy reading, so I sat down and read this book with my son. It was great to share these stories with him that I remember reading when I was a kid. They were just as entertaining to him as one of those newfangled electronic moving pictures.

[Hannah Brewster · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a great book for kids who’re beginning to read or would like to be read to. The sentences are short and would be good for a child to read alone or aloud. It offers three stories within one book.

This is one of my dad's favorite books from his childhood. I liked the parts where the dinosaur went really fast and where the dinosaur and kids covered their eyes.

I liked the book when the dinosaur was not actually alive. He was asleep maybe. Maybe he dreamed about it.

When the dinosuar like found a friend and took him around to a lot of places.

So this book was a win win. The dinosaur keeps my 3-year old son attentive and my kindergarten daughter is starting to read.
