Synopsis:
Danny and Dinosaur are back in their third adventure and they are about to make HISTORY!

When they accidentally go back through history on a time-travelling swing, Danny and Dinosaur meet some new dino friends. But soon there's a rumbling noise; it's a volcano about to erupt! Can Dinosaur save the day by pooping them back to the future?

Find out in this hysterical historical adventure from the creators of The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas and The Dinosaur That Pooped a Planet.

The Dinosaur That Pooped The Past is the latest book in The Dinosaur That Pooped series.

This time it is Granny's 1008th birthday and she makes Danny and Dinosaur a big feast of eggs, broccoli and sprouts and she won't let them leave until they have eaten everything on their plates, Danny doesn't want his so the Dinosaur eats both of their party food.

After clearing their plates Danny and Dinosaur go into the garden to play on the swing hanging from the tree but they don't know that the swing is magic and it can turn back time if the swing loops round which is just what Danny and the Dinosaur do, they make the swing loop around.

While swinging around they pass the Romans, Egyptians and Greeks before the swing breaks and they end up in the Jurassic Period where they meet 3 little dino babies.

Soon though disaster strikes and a volcano erupts and because the swing broke when they landed they have no way of getting back to their own time, but the dino babies are really cleaver and they build a new swing to take them back home.

Danny, Dinosaur and the three dino babies climb on the swing but it is to heavy and they cannot make it swing around to get them back home, then dinosaur gets an idea, a very smelly idea. Dinosaur had to poop all of granny's party food to help them spin round to get them home.

Danny, Dinosaur and the three dino babies all make it back hom ein time for granny's broccoli birthday cake YUM!!.

The book had a fantastic story and brilliant illustrations and it had a great poetic rhythm just like the previous two books and I enjoyed it just like I did with the other two books.

These books are great and I am 26 and loving them I really hope that there are more to come.

Review - McFly - Unsaid Things... Our Story

Release Date: October 11th 2012

Add it: Goodreads

Prepare to meet the real McFly …

In 2003, Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Harry Judd and Dougie Poynter came together and formed what would become one of the most popular and successful bands in the UK. Just teenagers at the time, they were catapulted into the limelight and had to adapt quickly to their new-found fame – and everything that came with it. Now, at last, they have decided to tell their story, in full and revealing detail.

Speaking with candour and their trademark humour, Tom, Danny, Harry and Dougie share both the stories of their own lives and that of McFly. They give their personal insights into their contrasting childhoods, the individual paths that led them to the band, the struggles they have each overcome, their love lives and, of course, their music.

Packed with previously untold stories, a lot of laughter and the occasional tear, Unsaid Things offers a privileged look into the lives of four guys who started out as bandmates and became best friends. Their unique camaraderie radiates from every page and by the end of the book, you’ll know them almost as well as they know each other...

If you think you know everything about McFly, then think again. Or as Dougie says “THINK again.”

It took me a day to read Unsaid Things and they did the right thing in bringing it out after 9/10 years in the music business as there is a lot of information in the book that wouldn’t have been in there if they had written it after 2/3 years of being a successful pop band. I found out so many things about the band that I didn’t know before. There are pictures that are exclusive to the book like Dougie's hair when he was younger so cute haha and they are accompanied by whitty captions.

The cover is amazing, with fantastic pictures of the band on the front and the back cover plus inside the book. When you open the book there's a patchwork of old tour flyers and some pictures of backstage passes. This book is very artistic inside and out. Plus the chapter titles are Typical McFly.

This is a great read especially for a McFly fan and for someone who whats to know more about McFly. It is full of laughter and full of moments that will make you want to cry (which I did), it's defiantly a must-have for every McFly fan.  I was expecting this book to be similar to other musicians books meaning it would be full of pictures and not much writing but in actual fact it was the total opposite and it is definitely one of the most tell-all autobiographies I've read.

The book starts off with a prologue in typical McFly fashion, each member of the band is being given a massage which turns out to be more awkward than relaxing haha. The book is in 13 chapters and each member has a paragraph and it is clear who is telling their part in that chapter because the members names are written in bold.

We get a glimpse of their childhood in the first chapter and there are a lot of details that not many fans (even the hard core fans) probably knew and it is shown that each member of the band had very different lifestyles before joining McFly. The second chapter is about how the band got together and how they got the name McFly and it's obvious that McFly were meant to be and they have put a huge amount of effort into the band that they deserve the success that they have achieved.

While reading the autobiography the band talks about their album Radio: Active and the reason why they decided to put it into the Mail on Sunday because they wanted it to be available to a wide audience. They also talk about an album that they have released that they hated and to be honest I don’t know why they hate it because it’s one of my favourites.

In the book there's a very detailed story about the “fling” between Harry and Lindsay Lohan which was interesting because I had only heard brief details of it at the time. There are also details about Tom and his ‘Dark Period’ during the Wonderland days and details about Dougie and his drink and drug problem (so glad he’s better now).

The book reveals several arguments within the band which no one would have expected especially at how close all the guys seem to be the arguments probably brought them closer together as a band. It also reveals how the guys felt when their website was launched and I feel for them having put so much effort into it and it not turning out like they hoped.

The band talk a lot about their relationships – especially Tom with his on-off relationship with Giovanna – even though the guys were not with the right girls at the start of their careers they all seem to be with the right girl now.

The Dinosaur that Pooped Christmas - Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter

5/5 Stars

Release Date: October 25th 2012
Buy it: Amazon
Add it: Goodreads

Danny wants everything for Christmas. But what he gets is a dinosaur, a very hungry dinosaur.

Danny's new dino eats up all of Christmas, but as we all know, what goes in must come out . . .

Danny is about to have the most EXPLOSIVE Christmas of his life!

There's poop, presents and prehistoric creatures in this festive feast!

I saw this book while looking at the books in Asda. I really wasn't sure what to expect for the story but I stood and it read while waiting for my mum and sister to finish shopping.

Tom and Dougie have proved that not only can they write awesome songs, but they can use their skill to write a great children's novel. It was great. It had a few lines per page and great colourful pictures that any child (or adult) would like. The story was really funny and the rhyming is great throughout. This book has a childlike humour but it appeals to people of all ages.

I think that children will learn not to be greedy which is the moral of the story.

I loved it and trust me you'll love it, your kids will love it, you will chuckle and you will pick it up again and again. I will defiantly be buying it for my 5 year old sister for Christmas.

Hopefully the guys will continue to write more stories like this.
