Dinosaur's Packed Lunch Read Online Free PDF
Author: Jacqueline Wilson
feels a bit scary. Give me a cuddle, Dad.â
It was a bit scary for Dad, too. But he could see the huge dinosaur in his bedroom was wearing Dinahâs nightie and talking with Dinahâs voice.
It was his daughter Dinah all right. So he gave her a cuddle as best he could.
Then Dinah gave Dad a cuddle, which was much easier. It was fun being able to pick Dad up with her new arms. Sheâd have to remember to cut her claws though.
Her new skin didnât need a wash but her arms ached when she cleaned all her new teeth with Dadâs big clothes-brush.
Dinah was terribly greedy at breakfast. She ate a whole loaf of bread in one gollop and finished a jar of jam with one lick.
âWell, Iâm a growing girl,â said Dinah, giggling.
âI donât know how Iâm going to afford to feed you now. Money doesnât grow on trees,â said Dad.
Luckily, Dinah liked eating trees. Well, the leaves and the smaller snappier branches. And privet hedges taste delicious if youâre a dinosaur.
Everyone got their hedges trimmed and their trees pruned for nothing.
Chapter Four
Dad took Dinah to the doctorâs.
âCan you cure my Dinah?â asked Dad.
âI think youâd better take her to a vet,â said the doctor.
Dinah did a bit of doctoring herself.
She cured a babyâs hiccups and made an old ladyâs bad leg better.
Dad took Dinah to the vetâs.
âWell, sheâs certainly got a healthy appetite,â said the vet. âI donât think thereâs anything wrong with her.â
âIn that case youâd better go to school,â said Dad.
âBoring,â said Dinah.
But maybe school might be more fun today.
She certainly caused a bit of fuss when she went in through the school gates.
Dad had to have a few words with Miss Smith.
Miss Smith wasnât at all sure she could cope with this new Dinah.
âItâs OK, Miss Smith. Iâll be ever so good,â said Dinah.
Dinah did try to be good. She didnât talk in the (now very crowded) class, but when she started to get bored she gave her new long tail a little flick . . . which caused a bit of bother . . . and at playtime she fought the boys . . . and splashed the girls BUT . . . she somehow didnât get into trouble.
Everyone wanted to play with Dinah now.
âDinahâs my best friend,â said Judy.
âIâll be best friends with everyone,â said Dinah. âHey, who wants a ride on my tail?â
âDinahâs better than Disneyland!â said Judy.
Dinah even gave Miss Smith a ride!
When Dad collected her from school, Dinah helped him clean all the windows in the street.
People paid double to watch Dad climb up and down his new ladder.
Dinah and Dad got very hot working so hard.
âLetâs go home and have a cool bath,â said Dad.
âBoring,â said Dinah. âLetâs go swimming.â
So Dinah and Dad went to the swimming pool. There wasnât much pool left after Dinah dived in!
Dinah made an excellent diving board and water fountain.
It took Dad a very long time to get her properly dry.
Dad had fish and chips for supper.
Dinah had leaves and privet and dandelions and nettles and long grass and a big bunch of flowers and fish and chips.
âYummy,â said Dinah, rubbing her tummy.
Dad tried his best to tuck her up in bed.
Dinah sucked her new spiked thumb until she fell asleep and when she woke up she was a little girl again.
âBoring,â said Dinah.
But she still had a nearly full bottle of dinosaur juice . . .
