The Story of Dinosaurs

This book is a children's book all about dinosaurs. It is full of information and colorful illustrations. I think a lot of kids will enjoy this one! I loved the illustrations and the information. I feel like kids will learn a lot from this book.

This would be a perfect gift for the dinosaur obsessed kid in your life!

Thank you so much to Quarto and netgalley for the arc of this book in exchange for an honest review!

This book's format is amazing. It uses the time period and what look like crayon drawings to teach about the ages of the dinosaurs.

I have a current third-grader who would LOVE this book!

There is also a fantastic glossary within this that makes it that much better. I would prefer that those words were bold in the text to help direct kiddos to the glossary.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group- Francis Lincoln Children's Books for the eARC!

Fantastic! As a parent of a dinosaur obsessed kiddo I have read my fair share of dinosaur books (and then some) but this one hits the mark. There’s just the right amount of information for a young brain. It’s not so much that it can overwhelm them. I like that it doesn’t name a million dinosaurs in such a short span, I find that can be overwhelming for kids. The high level overview of this book is just right. I also really loved that it spoke about titanosaurs as their own group and went on to talk about how argentinosaurus is included in the titanosaurs. The illustrations were lovely and really resonated with my kids. Would recommend this any day.

Wait. A. Minute.
THE ART IN THIS BOOK! Omg! It’s so whimsical and so cute, and it is absolutely PERFECT!
It *kind of* slightly resembles what a kid might draw, and it is so well done all while keeping that kind of childish touch to it.
The text also is perfect, also all kids love dinos, right? So, more dinos, please! And this little book is filled with dinos. And, it’s also filled with true dino facts.

The Story of Dinosaurs is a great picture book with information about dinosaurs and the times that they lived. I loved that the book was separated into different time periods to really show the breadth of the dinosaurs (and even a hint at what came first!). The illustrations were fun and bright and did a great job of engaging the reader with their friendly expressions. I definitely think this will be the book that makes some kiddos fall in love with dinos!

Thanks to NetGalley, Quarto Publishing, and Catherine Barr for the chance to read & review!

Advanced book @netgalley kids book recap 📚✏️✂️📖🖌️🖍️

The Puzzle Piece by Andrea Mendoza (May 13) The most beautiful story in how to help children love themselves and be their most authentic self. I’m excited to read more of her books. Wonderful conversations to follow this with my kids!

Gathered at the Table by Glenn’s Nellist (Sept. 9) Using poems, it explains Jesus last supper and his time at the table. Such a profound, kid appropriate explanation of the communion.

Rosie’s Wild Ride by Paige Murray (Oct 7) Her completion doesn’t go quite as planned, but what if we keep going and ask “What if I can?” as we follow big dreams! I can’t wait to get this for my daughter. Loved the illustrations.

Night Magic by Leigh Ann Henson (Sept 23) This was SUCH a fun book of information. Why does it take so long for the eye to adjust to night? Lots of great information with this book and at a child’s level.

The Mountain and the Goat by Slamk Taghaddas (Sept 23) I loved the concept of teaching resourcefulness in this one. Loved the storyline.

Sea Dog Boats by Astrid Sheckels (Jan 14) To learn all about boats, let the dogs lead the way. All about the ABCs and nautical adventures this is a really cute story!

Twelve Days of Summer by Sherri Meret (July 1) “On the first day of summer…” The animals take you on a summer adventure as you sing along! My kids LOVED this adorable book.

Franklin’s Trees by AJ Skenkman (July 1) A story about young President Franklin. A history major myself, this was a really cute informative book.

Outdoor Skills for Kids by Buck Tilton (June 3) My son thought this book was the bees knees. He learned so much from it and kept talking about “when you approach an animal this is what to do..” He was so excited to share all he learned.

A Very Dinosaur Christmas by Adam Wallace (Sept 2) The giggles with this one! Dinosaurs at Christmas is silly.
