It's the story of one Nate Twitchell of Freedom, N.H., who has a completely delightful family — his dad runs the town newspaper in the days before catastrophic media consolidation. At any rate, the family has chickens, and one hen lays an enormous egg, and the egg hatches a wee dinosaur. Hilarity ensues as the dinosaur becomes predictably less wee, and Nate navigates the uproar as bewildered scientists, ad men and promoters descend upon his family. I don't want to give away the ending, because I want to you read (or re-read) it, but I'll just say that in the end, a trip to Washington, D.C., is called for. Nate calls the dinosaur Uncle Beasley, and really, this book is a delight — a little glimpse into the future, if you will, predicting how the nation would react to such an event, although I suppose nowadays the Twitchells would just get their own reality show and be done with it. |
