He resembles an Apatosaurus, but has opposable thumbs and standing over 100 feet tall, would dwarf even a RealLife Argentinosaurus in size. He does vaguely resemble a Plateosaurus, an ancestor of long-necked dinosaurs that did stand on two legs, but as mentioned above, he is much much bigger than any known dinosaur.

The book has sold over six million copies and has been translated into a dozen languages. It inspired two sequels by Syd Hoff: "Happy Birthday, Danny and the Dinosaur!" and "Danny and the Dinosaur Go to Camp". It also won the distinction of "New York Times Outstanding Book of the Year". It has since become an "I Can Read!" designated series of short-story books.

!!The following tropes include:
* ABoyAndHisX: A boy and his best friend, a [[BigGuyLittleGuy gigantic herbivorous sauropod dinosaur]].
* ADogNamedDog: Dinosaur is called just "Dinosaur" by everyone who knows him, and never thinks to give himself a name.
* {{Adorkable}}: Danny's Dinosaur is just a massive gainly sweetheart.
* AllAnimalsAreDogs: The dinosaur amusingly behaves like this when Danny is given a new pet puppy, his attempts to mimick its tricks result in a bush and a park bench being flattened though.
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: Its not clear which genus or species Dinosaur is, he resembles an Apatosaurus, but has opposable thumbs and standing over 100 feet tall, would dwarf even a RealLife Argentinosaurus in size.
* BigDamnHeroes: In the book "Too Tall", Dinosaur rescues a crane worker in distress and realizes that being huge is great after all.
* BigEater: Its hard to appease the Dinosaur's appetite when huge meals to us, are only one or two bites to him.
* BigFun: Dinosaur ''loves'' to have fun, and is always willing to try out new games and activities with Danny and the school children.
* DudeLooksLikeaLady: Dinosaur looks feminine, but insists they are male.
* FriendToAllChildren: From playing hide-and-seek to letting them ride him.
* GentleGiant: The massive Dinosaur wouldn't even hurt a fly, and takes great care to watch where he is stomping.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: While very happy to be a sauropod, Dinosaur falls into depression, feeling his giant size obstructs him from having more fun, that is until he puts that size of his [[BigDamnHeroes to good use]].
* IntellectualAnimal: The huge dino is intelligent, and can talk. Though given [[TimeAbyss his great age]], being able to speak our language should come as no surprise.
* KlingonsLoveShakespeare: Danny's best friend is fascinated by human culture, as dinosaurs back then were only into stomping and eating.
* LivingRelic: Dinosaur may very well be the LastOfHisKind.
* LongNeck: A given, as Dinosaur is a herbivorous sauropod.
* MuseumOfTheStrangeAndUnusual: Adverted. There's nothing much extraordinary about the local museum, except that it houses the [[HiddenInPlainSight only known living dinosaur in the world]] as one of the exhibits.
* NotSoDifferent: Danny's pet puppy is frightened of storms and lightning. A sentiment shared by his best dino friend.
* OurGiantsAreBigger: Dinosaur is pretty huge, towering over the town at the same height as a crane.
* RealityEnsues: Danny realizes he can't take Dinosaur home with him, or keep him as a pet, as he's far too big. Dinosaur also understands in "Danny and the Dinosaur and the New Puppy" he can't spend the night over his best friend's house either.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Dinosaur states his age is 100 million years old.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: The townsfolk aren't particularity bothered by a living dinosaur frolicking and stomping around them.
