In general, dinosaur books favor boys so it was delightful to find one where a little girl and a dinosaur become nightly friends. My own daughters loved this book so I decided to give it to a neighbor friend for her baby shower, especially since we're in the same book club.
This book has been a family favorite for ages. The pictures are magical and the story gentle and flowing. It follows the night-time adventures of a little girl and her beloved dinosaur, as they romp through the forest and play with the creatures. The perfect bedtime story, all of my kiddos LOVE wondering if they'll wake up with leaves in their hair too :) Heartwarming and perfect, I highly HIGHLY recommend this one.
Take off on a magical dream with a girl and her dinosaur. My daughter adores this book ... can't get enough of it. The story is magical and the illustrations are some of the best I've seen in a children's book. It is just captivating! This would make such a great birthday present, along with a little green stuffed dinosaur, just like the one the girl is holding in the book.
This is the fourth copy of this I've purchased. Great illustrations and good story of a small girl's fantasy friend. It's been a favorite goodnight story for my kids and my grandkids. Great gift and well loved.
This is absolutly one of my favorite books to read to my boys! It's a great fantasy story with a very friendly dinosaur. It's very, very different than any other dinosaur books we read. I think girls would really love it also!
When I first read this story to my almost-3-yr old daughter at the library, I saw a look in her eyes I had never seen before. She was already fond of dinosaurs, but this book clearly helped her discover a new way to use her imagination and she loved it. I love it for the way the dinosaur is presented--magically and whimsically, rather than ferociously. It's a beautiful book.
I love this book!! I used to read it to a little girl I babysat for. We would read it everyday before nap time! I had to have it for my kids, too!!! Was very happy with the condition the book was in as well!!
from the first time i read this enchanting book to my 2yr old son, we both loved it. he talked about it all the time and we read it at nap time and bedtime every day for two weeks (library book), then we had to get it again and he still loved it just as much.it is simple enough to let both our imaginations play. it made me think of when i was a little girl imagining i had large animal friends and i loved to think that my son was having that same kind of feeling as we read. there is nothing negative in the story or scary or confusing. it is a great story of adventure, just the kind of adventure kids already love to pretend.i went ahead and bought it because i look forward to my new baby girl loving it just as much as my son does.
