Apparently billed as Book One of this series, you wouldn't know it to look at it. I certainly felt I got on board late for this party. The whole background to the story, of how Jade ended up with an egg that hatched a baby blue dinosaur, of unknown species, is just given to us in summary, allowing therefore this very young reader to stick to the tiny adventure the three short chapters make up. And in actual fact, it's probably a much smaller story than that background – a gentle read about hide and seek and doubts as to the safety of the whole owning-a-dinosaur thing. So while this is commendably concise and doesn't faff around with backstory, the main narrative is the second best one here. Still, there's nothing at all that would make me think the series would deserve any kind of dislike, so four stars.

I thought that this book was a good read and my daughter thought it was good too, she loves dinosaurs and has done from a young age so we guessed the book would be a hit with her and it was!

The book had a good story, it was well written and easy to follow. She liked the characters and getting to know them. There are other books in the series so we will be looking to check them out too!

The illustrations are great and help bring the story to life.

It is 4 stars from me for this one - highly recommended!
