The Backpack Dinosaur series by Julian Michael Carver is a fun children’s book series that answers the question every kid has asked: what if you had a pet dinosaur? The series kicked off in 2019 with A Raptor Ate My Homework!, where a young protagonist ends up with a raptor companion who causes plenty of trouble. Camp Raptor followed the same year, taking the action to summer camp.
The books are written with young readers in mind, mixing silly humor with adventure. Will You Be My Raptor? rounded out this initial trio in 2020, continuing the bond between kid and dinosaur. Carver writes the series with a light touch that keeps the stories accessible and entertaining for its target audience of early readers.
