Book received at no charge to facilitate review

A puzzling set of footprints lead Joe and his sister Sally on a quest to find out where they came from. They most certainly had to come from a dinosaur and not just any dinosaur but a hungry, heavy dinosaur with very tiny feet.

As Joe and Sally follow the clues, they discover that besides being hungry, the dinosaur loves swimming and dancing but also has a headache and a sore foot. Joe and Sally must prove to their dad that the dinosaur is not extinct so they build the perfect dinosaur trap. Latimer's hilarious penciled illustrations of the dinosaur trap adds fun to the craziness of their quest. The lovable dinosaur wins the hearts of the determined siblings in such an absurd way that the young reader will be looking all over for tracks so he can find a lovable dinosaur too.

Board Books Review: Stanley's Colors and Stanley's Shapes by williambee

Books received at no charge in exchange for an honest review.

Stanley the hamster is back with all of his cuteness to appeal to the youngest reader. He's got his red helmet on and is ready to fix his car while helping youngsters learn their colors. Watch out when Stanley puts on his green helmet, he might just buzz right over your head. The last page spread puts the colors together for a rainbow of fun.

If learning colors isn't enough, Stanley's got his rectangular suitcases packed to teach shapes. Imagine  the fun of camping in a triangle or riding a circle. With williambee's simple illustration style, Stanley moves seamlessly from picture books to board books with perfection for the eager toddler.

Rating ★★★★☆
