Our Thoughts:

It's time for the school science fair and this imaginative youngster is determined to catch a dinosaur so he can win first place! With the help of his friends, he chases what seems to be a dinosaur all over his school and through his neighborhood, devising plans and creating ways to catch it!

This rhyming book has amazing illustrations with lots of detail, texture, and angled perspectives that truly make this story and its' characters come to life! These kids have lots of fun ideas for how to catch this dinosaur and the traps they set will keep your children's eyes busy throughout the story.

My daughter has always been pretty fascinated by dinosaurs so we picked this up and then realized it's a series with an odd array of creatures that range from mythological creatures like unicorns and mermaids to holiday-related ones like the Easter Bunny and Santa's elves. It's no surprise to me that dinosaurs were our introduction to this series!

The physical hardcover book has an amazing cover with raised text and pictures on both front and back so that it feels textured!
