When Maximus gets a special delivery in the mail from Eggasaurus Inc.,  he's thrilled. Their letter thanks him for his purchase and contains the words, "No Refunds." Max's father is not thrilled. He makes Max write to Eggasaurus asking for a refund. 

Eggasaurus writes back reminding there is no refund and sends Max two more eggs. The next flurry of letters back and forth send Dad over the edge. Eggasaurus sends a huge assortment of eggs and tells Max to play rock music to get them hatching. Soon Max receives certificates to pass out amongst his friends for free eggs. Max's eggs begin to hatch. Soon baby dinosaurs are everywhere and Max and Dad open a dinosaur day care. Max's friends all have dino pets, too! 

This funny and whimsical story accompanied by colorful art will wow young readers and kids who love dinosaurs will love this book! This is the most creative dinosaur picture book I've seen in YEARS! A true winner and likely to win awards. 

Highly, highly recommended ages 2 and up.
