Katie and Her Dinosaur Constance Scrafield

Once there was a true story that scientists in Scotland cloned a sheep named Dolly but imagine how astonished Katie is to learn that Dr. Boogles is trying to clone a dinosaur! Katie loves dinosaurs. She thinks they are strange-looking. Some were really fierce. Some could eat a whole tree at once! Katie says they were amazing, really cool and she likes them. So when that boy, Sammy, tells her his scientist dad is cloning a dinosaur, well - Katie just has to meet him! Dr. Boogles is very surprised that a little girl is so excited about his strange experiment. So, he invites Katie to help him. From that moment, Katie is thrilled about the idea a baby dinosaur might survive and, in her imagination, she names him Magnifitop. But as Sammy asks his father, "Gee, Dad - even if you get a dino from 65 million years ago, where would it live?"
