'There’s a fabulous lesson in visual literacy in this book – with the pictures telling a different story to the text.
​
A gorgeous addition to the home or school library for dinosaur lovers of all ages.' - Megan Daley, Children's Books Daily
​


This is a beautifully illustrated picture book with so much to enjoy on every page. Both text and pictures work brilliantly together to reveal the power of imagination in transforming what could have been a disappointing excursion into an unforgettable day.​ - Grace Nolan, CBCA Reading Time
