Reviews

  • Houran’s rhyming text is just right for chanting (or singing along to the tune of ‘Skip to My Lou’) at storytimes.

    - School Library Journal

  • The gentle illustrations do a nice job being soft and approachable while still supplying enough detail to understand the various complicated tasks…solid factual info for pint-size dino fanatics heading to the museum.

    - Booklist

  • With simplified but reasonable accuracy, Marquez depicts each stage of the process in softly modeled, harmoniously colored scenes, and her crew of paleontologists is diverse in both ethnicity and gender.

    - Kirkus Reviews

  • This is a simple book that dinosaur fans will love—especially very young dinosaur fans.
