I received an electronic ARC from Penguin Random House Canada through NetGalley.
Humor on every page as the various book characters try to take control of the book. The princesses start and the dinosaurs soon appear. They spat and each brings in their big character - T-Rex and Shirley the Dragon. Then a massive rubber ducky takes command. Eventually, they build a wall down the center so the princesses and dinosaurs each have a side. After all the arguing and building, they realize they would have more fun together so start playing with each other. This way, it is indeed, everyone's book.
Clever humor with an important message underneath. Great book to enjoy laughter together and then talk about how we may like different things but underneath, we're all okay together.

This is a cute and funny meta book. I giggled throughout reading it and I'm sure kids will enjoy it. I adored the artwork. Very nice!

This was a super cute and fun book about princesses and dinosaurs arguing about who the book is about. The illustrations were bright and had a lot of different components to take your time to look at. It seemed like a bit of a random story, but that's also what made it funny. I loved seeing a boy as one of the princesses as well! However, I don't think the actual story is all that interesting, but it does teach a nice lesson that being different isn't something that should divide you, but should bring you together so you can teach each other new things.

This book was adorable! My children (both boys and girls) loved it. The pictures are colorful and darling. There are just the right amount of words per page to tell the story, but not so many that my kids lost interest. My 4 year old made me read is over and over and then she sat at the computer scrolling through it for another 20 min. by herself. Such a cute book!

A fun concept with colorful illustrations bursting with character, but ultimately confusing and redundant.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Penguin/Random House Canada/Tundra Books for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks is a children's book. I found it to be a cute book, but very silly. The graphics were cute but a few times overwhelming as in bed cluttered. Including everyone is a great concept and accepting everyone an important thing to learn. Overall, an interesting read. 3 stars

This is currently my little girl’s favorite title! Everything about this story was like it was MADE for her - princesses, dinosaurs, unicorns? She saw this one as I was requesting titles and we have read it almost daily since being approved for an advance reader copy. Great coloring, action packed images and a truly fun mashup of a story, even my oldest is enjoying reading this story to his little sister.

So prince's think it's their book.On the other hand dinosaurs think it's their book.
Their rivalry is the cutest thing ever.Just lile girls vs boys.
I couldn't have enough of diverse cast of princesses.And the dinosaurs are really cute in this one.
Despite our differences we can still live with peace and harmony.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher (Penguin Random House Canada) for an electronic copy to read and review.
I cannot wait to add this to my Christmas shopping list! It is a hilarious book where princess and dinosaurs both believe that this is their book. The ensuing hilarity will definitely make kids, and adults, laugh out loud!

This was a really cute book that I enjoyed reading with my two boys. The book is called Princesses versus Dinosaurs because the two groups are fighting over who the book is about. The Princesses are are on the left while the Dinosaurs are on the right. As the book continues they plan on different ways to get their point across. They do eventually come to an agreement only to see maybe that agreement isn't what is best for everyone. Overall, this is a really funny book but it also allows for the conversation of inclusion and differences. Speaking of inclusion, I enjoyed seeing a boy dressed as a Princess. :)
You'll enjoy this book with your young ones. Prepare to use silly voices and be thanked with a gaggle of giggles.

I received an e-galley from Penguin Random House Canada in exchange for an honest review.
Princesses Versus Dinosaurs was a hilarious and fun storybook. Just like the title indicates, we are introduced to the princesses and then soon after the dinosaurs - both of which believe that the book is about them. They bicker and argue and bring it their big friends, and eventually build a wall between them. (This part of the story had me raising an eyebrow - metaphorically, since I can’t actually physically do so). But the princesses and dinosaurs soon find themselves intrigued about what the other side are doing, the wall comes down (phew) and everyone realizes that they can get along and that the book can belong to everyone.
I really liked the illustrations in this one as it helped contrast the two sides of the story but somehow managed to work together by the end of the book.

I loved the art style and the creativity that went into this book, though at times I feel it can be a bit cluttered. I do believe that was the point of the artist. However, I like how the story is about coming together no matter who you are. You can be friends even if you are different :) Plus who doesn't love dinosaurs and princesses.
Another one to add to my purchase list.
Side note:: I enjoyed the inclusion of the yellow princess~ so cute.

Extra-cheesy, super-silly, and ultra-worthy, this book shouldn't work, but does, through sheer bravura chutzpah. Some lovely princesses, of all body sizes and of course of all ethnicities, want this to be their book. Until some dinosaurs turn up out of their fiery prehistory, and demand it be their book. They eat princesses, they say – which is not what you want to hear from one of the vegetarian dinosaurs, but there you go. The dinosaurs call for back up, as do the princesses, and it all gets really antagonistic until it becomes clear it is a book for everyone. This is so inclusive you just have to wonder which dinosaurs self-identify as gay, and how many princesses are cis. The two sides get conveyed really well here; the dialogue is simple and obviously gearing up to conveying A Message, but still is in keeping with the plot, and never at any time feels forced. Great design, simple yet equally great story construction – this hits all the marks.

I was provided a free version of this from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
When I saw this available I knew I would have to get it and read it with my dino lovin' 6 year old Curly Daughter! We got to soccer practice early today so we had a chance to read it tonight and it was a big hit!! It's a cute story about the characters trying to get the upper hand so the book is about them! But in the end... *spoiler alert* ... they all learn it's fun to play with those who are different than you!! 🥰 Many laughs were had at the characters antics along the way. Curly Daughter said her favored part were when the T-Rex and Dragon were dancing (I even heard her explaining it to a teammate in the middle of practice when they were supposed to be running a drill 😒🤣)!
One complaint would be a bit of "harsh" language. One character says "What the heck?" And two others tell each other to "Go suck an egg". Although not overtly vulgar or inappropriate, they seem to lean that way. My daughter didn't pick up on the second example but she did say, "What the heck is not very nice to say." May not bother others, but it veered close to a line for us.
But the overall message of acceptance is a good one!

The quickest read and the illustrations were adorable. It talks about how we should include everyone no matter their differences and it definitely gives off that lovely message in a fun and sweet way. I think this would be great for parents/guardians to read to their children, and it would be a fun and quick read.

Everything about this book was adorable,.from the colorful illustrations of the arguing princesses and dinosaurs to their multiple attempts at winning the privilege of being the stars of the book. I especially love it's not-so-subtle message about the absurdity of gender stereotypes and how things really can just be for everyone.

While some of the language is a little too harsh for what I would want to share with my younger patrons ("go suck an egg!"), the premise is solid, the jokes are mostly funny (Rubber Ducky!), and the art is both precious and diverse. I think this will be a crowd pleaser for older picture books readers/listeners.
