Gr 2–4—In this sequel, Danny and Lin are now in charge of the secret lab with the tiny dinosaurs that they discovered in Follow That Tiny-Dactyl. While the professor is continuing his research elsewhere, he sends Danny and Lin a mysterious egg. Their bravery is put to the test when they face some hungry dinosaurs and a surprise waiting to hatch from the egg. The black-and-white illustrations add to the text and make this story a page-turner. Despite the novelty of the miniscule dinos in this series, there's not much else to make this chapter book stand out from the crowd.
VERDICT Buy where the first book flies off the shelves like a tiny-dactyl or where dino enthusiasts are in the market for funny fiction.

In [cf2]Follow That Tiny-Dactyl[cf1], friends Danny and Lin discovered Professor Penrod's secret lab. Now they are caring for the professor's miniaturized dinosaurs while he's away, but the arrival of a tiny package creates big trouble. The fast-paced action, plentiful cartoonlike illustrations, and an appended section of oviraptor facts should appeal to series fans, who will likely overlook the exaggerated writing and flat characters.
