Cute fun story for the kids, keeps it simple but adorable. Would definitely recommend to my friends and family for a young audience.

This is such a fun, younger graphic novel. It’s about second third grade reading level. Pup and Dragon always have the best heart. Their antics are realistic and fun as well as being outlandish at the same time. They are always looking out for each other and that’s part of what makes this book series special.

My 6 year old really enjoyed this title. She enjoyed the story line as well as the illustrations. Thank you so much for the opportunity to read and review in exchange for an honest review.

‘Pup and Dragon: How to Catch a Dinosaur. By Alice Walstead with illustrations by Paul Gill is a graphic novel for young children.

Energetic Pup and his more thoughtful friend Dragon decide to help their kid friends win the school science fair. Pup’s plan is to catch a dinosaur, which Dragon reluctantly agrees to. What follows are a series of funny attempts by these two friends.

It all plays out like a gag filled cartoon. Long on silliness and short on substance. The art is good and the panels are easy to read and follow.

Loved by both my younger girls and now they are asking for more!! My library readers just cannot get enough of graphic novels so I always try anything new that I can. This one will definitely find it's way to my school library shelves.........

This was a really fun book to read. These two friends see the kids getting ready for the science fair, and come up with a great idea to help them. They decide to try and catch them a real dinosaur thinking it would be a shoe in for first place. Yet every plan they come up with seems to not go the way they hoped it would. As this book comes to a close they discover the perfect science fair project has been there all along. Fans of the previous Pup and Dragon books will want to check this one out.

It was so great seeing Pup and Dragon thinking of ideas on how to catch a dinosaur in so many different ways. So many ideas didn't work the way they thought it would. Maybe a dinosaur for the science fair wasn't needed after all. How about one of pup and dragon's catching ideas as the project?

My 3rd grader (she helped with this review) thought this book was super silly, but pup and dragon were creative too. This book teaches kids to think out side of the box. The bright colorful pictures and fun characters lure the reader in. A wonderful book for kids and a good addition to the series.

Thank you to Sourcebooks Kids and Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this ARC for my honest review.

I received an electronic ARC from SOURCEBOOKS Kids through NetGalley.
Pup and Dragon are back for more adventures. This time they attempt to help the kids catch a dinosaur for the Science Fair. Readers will enjoy the antics and appreciate the humor. The artwork is fun to study - don't miss the dinosaur hiding on each page spread. The details offer further information to support the story. A quick read for lower to mid elementary levels.
Walstead is a master of this style and the graphic novels are a fun new direction.

Pup and Dragon: How to Catch a Dinosaur by Alice Walstead was truly a wonderful book. Very nice and colorful illustrations. Inclusive characters throughout the story.
It’s well written and kids if any ages will love this vibrant and engaging story.
My daughters absolutely loved it and I’m actually looking forward to reading them more of these in the future.

Thank You NetGalley and Sourcebooks Wonderland for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

I read this to my kindergarten son, and he giggled almost the entire book. He is a very reluctant reader, so I am constantly challenged when it comes to find books that will hold his attention long enough to read the entire book. He loved this so much that we have started the other books in this series.

Pup and Dragon are determined to catch a dinosaur. But dinosaurs are very hard to catch! Kids will enjoy their disastrous plans and humorous dinosaur-catching antics. This series is perfect for students to build confidence while transitioning from picture books to chapter books.

Pup and Dragon notice a poster for an upcoming science fair and decide to help their human friends catch a dinosaur! After many accidents on Pup's part and some terrible plans, they decide on an even better plan that will make their friends successful at the science fair. Pup and Dragon are well balanced friends and readers will appreciate their antics.

Another fun addition to the Pup and Dragon series but that can stand alone. The artwork is bright and colourful, and the story capitalizes on the interest that most kids in the demographic have with dinosaurs. And the whole elusive nature of dinosaurs.

I did feel like the book forced the mysterious element a bit, having Pub and Dragon constantly trying to catch the extinct beast. And I guess the idea that a dinosaur existed in their reality made me scratch my head - I'm not scratching my head over the dragon aspect though so maybe that's a speciesist move.

I think that this book will work for the target demographic and more as an early reader book than as a read aloud picture book.

This is another fun upper elementary / beginning reader graphic novel. It has a lot of visuals and limited text on each page which makes it fun and accessible. My five year old loved it. I enjoyed Pup and Dragon: How to Catch an Elf more. It bothered me that they almost catch a dinosaur the whole book but never actually do and then end up submitting the robot anyway. I would definitely recommend for elementary school libraries.

Pup and Dragon are friends who like adventure and get themselves into some messes along the way. This is an adorable graphic novel for younger students and readers who new to English as the characters are engaging and the format allows use of picture clues to understand the story. I loved the bright illustrations. Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read it virtually!

I am adding this series to my collection as graphic novels for new readers are always in demand!

This graphic novel is humorous and quirky. It is an excellent installment of the Pup and Dragon series. This is an easy and quick read for younger kids transitioning out of picture books, but not quite ready for chapter books. This is an enjoyable book for parents as well..
