In The News

“Convincing family relationships enhance Boo's experiences; child-centered dialogue abets the taut pacing. Engaging double-page drawings extend the text with humor and warmth. Brooks's illustrations vary shading to depict the fully realized characters. The dinosaur's dynamic expressions provide a warm immediacy to the engaging plot, and Boo's bouncy pigtails convey her youthful exuberance. The successful balance between fantasy and realism creates a satisfying chapter-book selection.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Lots of fun for sharing and reading aloud.” —Booklist
