I Want a Cup of Dinosaur is the sixth book in the SINGAPO: Discovering Chinese Singaporean Culture series. It tells a fascinating story of Le Le's experience ordering drinks at a coffeeshop on his 7th birthday. He overhears other customers using special drink names that he had never heard of before. Le Le, who was perplexed by these "strange" drink names, runs back to his seat to ask Dad what was going on. Dad proceeds to explain the origins of these special drink names and terms to Le Le. After listening, he found these names very amusing. That day, Le Le was not only one year older, but also one year wiser.
