Mr Snore, as his name implies, comes to the Sharemore hotel to get a good night’s rest. But, he finds that he cannot sleep because there is a mouse sleeping on his bed. The bellhop directs him to other floors, which are also shared by other animals.  Finally, Mr. Snore decides to try the 13th floor all by himself. Find out how the dinosaur on the 13th floor reacts to that.

Children will love the cute Dinosaur that lives on the 13th floor. The prose lacks some depth, but the ending is worth the read.
