Dog Diaries: Dinosaur Disaster! is the sixth book in the hilarious series featuring Rafe Khatchadorian's pet pooch, Junior.

I have something very IM-PAW-TANT to tell you...

I was with my mutt mates in the dog park when we saw something MONSTROUS through the trees... I recognized it straight away. It was a huge DINO-ROAR!

Now, I know what you're thinking - dino-roars don't exist anymore, right? WRONG. I spotted one in the flesh, well in the bone... And it smelt tail-waggingly tasty!

I followed its sniff-a-licious scent to the BIGGEST building I've ever seen, and the smells coming from inside were the most dusty, moldy, oldy, dirt-lectable whiffs I've ever wrapped my snout around.

I don't know what the humongous building is, but what I do know is that I just HAVE to get inside. It will be the greatest challenge my pooch pack have ever faced!
