When Dinosaurs Came With Everything by Elise Broach, Illustrated By David Small

Whenever we go to our local Trader Joe's market, Ricky always gets a balloon - his reward for putting up with boring grocery shopping. Now if I imagine if Trader Joe's gave out dinosaurs instead of balloons.....well that would be something to see!

This is the story of a boy who does errands with his mother all day - they go to the bakery, the barber - and instead of giving away balloons as usual, businesses are giving out dinosaurs. As a result, they avoid going to the shoestore (buy 2 pairs get 1 dinosaur free), the movies, etc. Ricky and I really enjoyed this story and it has lots of funny parts.
