My son absolutely loved this book! He is currently running around the house yelling surprise dinosaur! He thought the book was so funny. The illustrations are bright and colorful and the text fun and engaging. This book will definitely be a new favorite in our house!

Thank you to Net Galley for this e- copy of Surprise Dinosaur ! by Lucas Klauss in exchange for a honest review. This is a cute preschool read about a T- Rex who likes to surprise people but really ends up doing us scaring them . He learns the right way to surprise others and makes lots of friends in the process. Great preschool read for dinosaur living fanatics.

A fun book that definitely has some surprises of its own!

It’s not just the dinosaur main character who is surprising. This would be a fun classroom read, and is pretty quick and engaging.

Thank you to NetGalley and sourcebook kids for allowing me to review a copy of this book.

My toddler adored this book. She loves dinosaurs so it was a hit just for that. I was made to read it 4 times in a row. Safe to say it will be added to our rotation of books.

This book was so fun!! I wasn't expecting the ending at all, but I was very happily *surprised*. I think that this book will do a multitude of things for young readers:
1. It will subtly teach them how to respect others' boundaries while still being themselves. They will see how Surprise Dinosaur did this, and they will follow his example.
2. It will make them laugh! There were even a few moments when I chuckled, so I know that kids will be giggling often when reading this book.
3. It will entertain them in an effective way. Relating to my other two points, this book is fun for kids while also serving a purpose other than just being a fun read. There is no shortage of interesting parts in this book, and little ones will be entertained from start to finish.

Great book. Bravo!

Surprise Dinosaur! is a picture book about, well, a dinosaur who likes to surprise people. Unfortunately for him, not everyone likes a surprise. He tries out new ways to surprise people who enjoy it without scaring those who don't. It is a silly story that will have younger kiddos laughing.

Thanks to Sourcebooks Kids and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.
