This book was so fun! I The story was engaging from the very beginning and illustrations were bright and captivating. I also appreciated how clear the words themselves were and I really liked how there was variety in how they were presented in such a way as to further emphasise key moments in the story itself. It was also a great idea to include pronunciations for each dinosaur name. Overall this book had a great message about resilience and adapting circumstances to suit your individuality.
Many thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.
My 3 year old son says this book “is so cool-osaurus!”
Cute pictures for any dino loving kid. A group of kids tell us all about what they did when they had dinosaur friends for a day. Adorable picture and silly phrases, with the important lesson of try try again. Highly recommend it.

This book was adorable!!
To start off, I LOVED the dedication at the beginning. It was dedicated to all of the smart and creative kids reading this book, and it said: "You are awesome." So cute!!
Another amazing thing that the authors flawlessly incorporated was inclusivity. Whenever the dinosaurs couldn't do something, all of the kids used their creativity to do something that everyone could do - just allowing everyone to be involved. Similarly, I thought it was great how the author included pronunciations of the dinosaur names. These pronunciations were broken up so that they were very easily understood, and not complicated.
Last but not least, the pictures were colorful and some even made me laugh out loud. Bravo!
This book is sprinkled with fun and playful fonts and illustrations! What an exciting story of positivity, collaboration, and encouragement. This story will inspire creativity!
this book was absolutely adorable!! i downloaded it to read to and with my nephew and my young cousins and they loved it!!! it’s such an easy read and i can definitely see myself reading it again for them
omg, what a cute book! this book is full of imagination and kindness. it’s about friendship and getting along as well. the children all go on adventures with dinosaurs and make sure everyone is included in the fun! this book is a great way to teach being inclusive and respectful of how people (and dinosaurs) are all different! but despite differences, it’s all about getting along and making the best of the time with friends. this book is a great way for kiddos to see imagination and friendship are important with the fun of dinosaurs.
What a cute and charming children's dinosaur book! I really enjoyed the colorful illustrations, and I know that having the pronunciation of each dinosaur name will be super appreciated by many parents. My little dinosaur lover who is almost 6 would really enjoy this one!
I really think this book is great for children. It has a lot of good messages such as not giving up and persevering to achieve what you want. I also loved that the pronunciation of the dinosaur names were under the name so that kids could sounded it out. Another great thing about this story was that it illustrated how big dinosaurs are and how many different kinds of dinosaur there used to be.
What a fun and vibrant story of the day Luke and his friends had a dinosaur for a day.
The story is engaging and even teaches children how to correctly pronounce the dinosaurs names and provides little fun facts about the dinosaurs.
If your child is not a dinosaur fan before this book then they will be after. This is one you could ready with your child but would be great for independent reading as well.
This was a cute book! I liked the diverse group of friends, the illustrations, and the willingness to help make the activities fun for everyone.
My 3 year old and I enjoyed reading this! The illustrations were adorable and so fun. We also loved the made up Dino words!
This book was cute. I read it with my little one and he liked that they were able to adapt each activity for Rex so that could still join in on the fun.
