Of all the dinosaur books I've had to read lately, this one is by far my favorite. First, I like the fact that the protagonist in the story is a girl. I don't want my daughter to feel like she can only like princesses and flowers so it's nice to see stories that depict girls who have a broader range of interest. I also enjoy the way famous paintings are suggested in the illustrations. I always appreciate it when authors and illustrators make an effort to amuse the parent as well as the child. There is also a little fact page in the back with some information on the dinosaurs mentioned in the story just to get in a little dose of science facts.
