I liked the story because it was informative, but still a children’s book. The story gave real factual information in the very beginning and also incorporated facts through the story. I think its important to give the children real facts, not just imaginary stories. I also liked the illustrations because they helped enhance the text. The text often referred to dinosaurs being smaller or larger than the other and you could see that through the pictures. I also liked the colors they used for the illustrations; they were dull colors, but still eye catching. The main message of the story is you’re safer at your home, so don’t run away.
A dinosaur with a shiney spine hatches from a shiney egg. Dazzle and his friend go on an adventure where his shiney spikes save the day.
contains some facts but mainly about a young dinosaur with sparkles that gets picked on. k-3
This is a very cute book. It is about a young dinosaur that has sparkles on it. The sparkles shimmer in the book.
