I read this to my children and they ate it up! We absolutely loved it. Very cute and well written. The Illustrations are lovely as well. We can’t wait for it to be published to add on our library.

If You Happen to Have a Dinosaur is filled with funny scenarios that will have children chuckling in no time! You can use a dinosaur as a bookmark, a pillow, a kite, and so much more. It’s a humorous book full of imagination that will make children wonder what they would do with their own personal dinosaurs.

First, I have to give Colin Jack 9834756/5 stars for his illustrations (just looked him up and he's currently a story artist at Dreamworks, neat!). Without the illustrations, the story itself wouldn't have made me smile like a fool at 28 years old.

The silly storyline makes you giggle; the open-ended questions spark conversation. Both the reader and the audience (assuming this is being read by one person, to another person) will end up using their imagination in no time!

I'm definitely going to purchase the paperback edition for my son when he's older, it would be perfect for travel! Hardcover books tear up the inside of my diaper bag sometimes. For friends of mine with kids who won't eat a paperback book, this will make an adorable gift :)

{Thank you bunches to NetGalley, Linda Bailey, Colin Jack and publisher Penguin Random House Canada for the eARC in exchange for my honest review!}

Cover of book is good and the pictures throughout thd book are well done. I thought this was a very cute book! I read it to my little boy and he loved the illustrations and was excited to see what the dinosaurs were "helping" with!

A super fun picture book about all the different things you could do if you had a dinosaur! Very imaginative with lots of different ideas. Our store already has the hardcover and it's been popular, especially for those who love dinosaurs and/or want a story with some good humour.

This is a fun story of all the things you could do if you had a dinosaur. It has great pictures and funny scenarios. There is one picture where a burglar is trying to climb in someone's window which might be scary for younger children, but otherwise it's a fun book that kids would enjoy!

Its a super cute book as far as graphics go but it just wasn't that interesting for my son. He wasn't that interseted in it. He loves dinosuars so I thought he would enjoy it but unfortunately not.
