Nobody else stayed to see the lions, elephants, monkeys, seals, giraffes, or hippos because they came to see the dinosaur instead. The dinosaur is also a celebrity, as the illustrations show hundreds of people leave the zoo to see Danny and the dinosaur. The dinosaur is well-intentioned throughout the story, for he helps a lady cross the street, takes Danny across a river and lets the children use him as a slide. Both agree to play with each other, and Danny rides out of the museum on the dinosaur's neck.

One of the dinosaurs come up to Danny and says, "And I think it would be nice to play with you".

Then he says he thinks it would be nice to play with one. The dinosaurs in the dinosaur exhibit are really models and not real. Finally, he immediately gets drawn to the dinosaur exhibit and would be delighted to find a living dinosaur. He sees Indians, bears, Eskimos, guns, and swords. The story opens up with a young boy named Danny going to a science museum. The story spawned an animated short in 1990 by Weston Woods.
