Synopsis

When his parents bring a little green lizard home from their vacation in Kenya, Jacob Two-Two is thrilled. But as the days pass, he realizes that Dippy isn't just an ordinary lizard at all. In fact, it becomes obvious to Jacob that Dippy's not so little either. As Dippy grows bigger and bigger, he begins to attract some very big attention from some very important people. Before Jacob realizes, he is on the run from the entire government of Canada - and with a full-grown dinosaur!

Media Reviews
There is a reckless momentum to Richler's narrative, a rhythm of slap-dash invention that mimics the frantic pace of childhood fantasy. Yet Richler's tale is well-ventilated with adult wit. - Maclean's
Author Bio
Mordecai Richler was born in Montreal, Quebec, in 1931. Raised there in the working-class Jewish neighbourhood around St. Urbain Street, he attended Sir George Williams College (now a part of Concordia University). In 1951 he left Canada for Europe, settling in London, England, in 1954. Eighteen years later, he moved back to Montreal. Novelist and journalist, screenwriter and editor, Richler, one of the most acclaimed contemporary writers, has spent much of his career chronicling, celebrating, and criticizing the Montreal and the Canada of his upbringing. Whether the settings of his fiction are St. Urbain Street or European capitals, his major characters never forsake the Montreal world that shaped them. His most frequent voice is that of the satirist, rendering an honest account of his times with care and humour. Richler's many honours include two Governor General's Awards and innumerable other awards for fiction, journalism, and screenwriting. Mordecai Richler died in Montreal, Quebec, in 2001.
