What’s it about?
The story.
Danny and Dinosaur visit the city to see the sights: the palace, the people and the skyscrapers that reach up into the sky. But when superheroes, villains and enormous dinosaur digestion enter the picture, an ordinary day out becomes another wildly silly adventure.

Why kids love it
The specific delight is a superhero eaten and returned — skyscrapers, capes, city sightseeing, then Dino doing the inevitable. A four-year-old who's loving Marvel gets the rude rhyming version of their favourite genre.
