This is a wonderfully busy search activity book. Taking on a child’s favourite, the dinosaur, this book will entertain and develop spatial awareness.

An enjoyable time is to be had by young and old as one tries to spot the five out of place anomalies that are contained in the cartoonish graphics depicting scenes from the Mesozoic, or "Middle Life" Era when mighty dinosaurs ruled the world. Aimed at developing a young child's cognitive skills together with providing a first building block to an understanding of the subject the book contains key information regarding each depicted scene together with clues that will enable the child to identify the wrong thing to find. The graphics immediately attract and together with the snappy text there is an overall impression of fun.

This is an activity book that will I'm sure engage and entertain most children.

This is a fun activity book that will have kids engaged as they try to find the mistakes that are embedded in nine Mesozoic scenes. Two friendly guides give clues and there are 5 anomalies to discover per scene.

The illustrations are bright, busy and cartoonish in nature. They are very kid-friendly and kids will giggle as they see dinosaurs wearing headphones, reading books and showing off their sharp, pearly whites, just to cite a few. Kids love dinosaur themes and hunting for hidden objects so I know this book will be a fun read and engagement for them. The book will entertain as well as develop their cognitive skills and their spatial awareness also. The introduction paragraph regarding each new section is a nice segue into a new adventure. Recommended but not enthusiastically.

I want to thank #netgalley for giving me a copy to review. This was a cute book where you have to find the things wrong in the picture. The topic of the book is dinosaurs which I preferred to the transportation book (my son preferred the transportation one). In looking for books for my classroom, this would not be one that I would choose, but for car rides for my children I would buy it in a heartbeat. This will keep kids busy and they will come back to it over and over.

I thought that this book was really good!

I loved that the images were nice and bright which made them attractive to my daughter.

I liked you could learn a little about dinosaurs as well as finding out and spotting the mistakes in the book.

It is 4 stars from me for this one - very enjoyable!!

Again, this is okay, but after the children discover what is wrong the first time around, I seriously doubt they will be interested in picking it up again. Just okay.
