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