Don't remember ever coming across that one, but I do recall The Enormous Egg by Oliver Butterworth
THE ENORMOUS EGG, written in 1956, is the fantastical tale of young Nate Twitchell of Freedom, New Hampshire, who, one fine day, discovers that one of his chickens has hatched out a baby Triceratops.
A clear case of BAD.
ROFL ! You'd think they'd at least try to make it a theropod, let alone a raptor.
As I recall, Nate rides on the triceratops, sitting behind the frill.
This is an illustration from the book
