Backpack Dinosaur

It's the first day of fourth-grade for twins Andy and Anna. Andy is a shy boy obsessed with dinosaurs and Anna is an adventurous girl willing to take risks. One day, when they step off the school bus, Anna suggests taking a shortcut through a dark alley to get home. As they navigate through the abandoned alley, they find a mysterious large egg tucked under a bush. They take it home and try to hatch it, careful not to tell their parents who are strict about pets. After building a makeshift nest in the attic, the egg hatches into a friendly baby velociraptor, whom they later, name Tennyson, due to his infatuation with destroying tennis balls. Now they must convince their parents to keep the little dinosaur, while overcoming bad grades and the school bully.

When the Saunders go camping in the Pennsylvanian wilderness, Mr. Saunders tells the kids a scary story about a legendary creature named Fatfoot, who lives in the forest nearby. At first, the children don't believe the strange tale, until things begin to go bump in the night. It's up to Andy, Anna, and everyone's favorite raptor, Tennyson, to investigate the legend themselves.

It's the day everyone is waiting for: The annual field trip to the zoo! The class is eager to explore and see all the animals, especially Andy, Anna, and their pet velociraptor, Tennyson. However, things soon take a turn for the worst! A large silverback gorilla escapes from its cage and causes havoc, putting the entire zoo on lockdown mode! Now the gang must escape the zoo and reunite with the rest of their class, with their trusty little dinosaur leading the way-all while avoiding zoo animals looking for a hungry snack! Please Don't Feed The Raptors is the sixth book in The Backpack Dinosaur series, and delivers excitement, suspense, and Jurassic fun for animal-lovers of all ages!
