Danny and the Dinosaur is a popular children's book by Syd Hoff, first published by Harper & Brothers in 1958. The story opens up with Danny going to the museum, where he is almost immediately drawn to the dinosaur section. He laments they're not real and wishes to have one be his friend. The boy is delighted to find a living dinosaur who has been watching over him, who also wants to be friends. Both agree to play with each other, and Danny rides out of the museum on the dinosaur's neck to embark on an adventure-filled day.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The book has sold over six million copies and has been translated into a dozen languages. It inspired two sequels by Syd Hoff: "Happy Birthday, Danny and the Dinosaur!" and "Danny and the Dinosaur Go to Camp". It also won the distinction of "New York Times Outstanding Book of the Year". It has since become an "I Can Read!" designated series of short-story books.

Artistic License – Paleontology: Its not clear which genus or species Dinosaur is, he resembles an Apatosaurus, but has opposable thumbs and standing over 100 feet tall, would dwarf even a Real Life Argentinosaurus in size.

All Animals Are Dogs: The dinosaur amusingly behaves like this when Danny is given a new pet puppy, his attempts to mimick its tricks result in a bush and a park bench being flattened though.

A Dog Named "Dog": Dinosaur is called just "Dinosaur" by everyone who knows him, and never thinks to give himself a name.
