Reviews for Dino-Racing

[carlathelibrarian · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is the newest edition in the Dino-Sports series. Dino-Racing is a cute rhyming book that tells about three different types of automobile races and the dinosaurs that participate in them. There is a drag race, a three day dessert race and a stock car race complete with pit stops and crashes. Lots of excitement and fun that ends with dinosaurs dancing in celebration. My grandson absolutely loved this book and as soon as we finished, he asked to read it again. I am definitely gong to have to go and get the whole series.

The story is told in rhyme which makes it easy to read and fun to listen to. The illustrations are amazing. Lots of colour and expression. The dinosaurs are cartoon like, so they are not scary for the little ones. A cute series for young readers, especially those that love dinosaurs.

Thanks to Netgalley and Lerner Publishing, Carolrhoda Books for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.
