Amazing! Loved this so much. The drawing style is really fun. I really liked how the story was written and set up. Absolutely loved the message and it was very relatable. A delight!

A very curious frog learns that frogs were around alongside the dinosaurs. He thinks that means he is technically a dinosaur too. Eventually, his frog family and his forest friends end up making him feel bad about wanting to be a dinosaur. Ultimately they realize they were wrong to hurt his feelings and should just let everyone be who they want to be. It is a great story about loving your friends and family and all of the things that make them unique.

My son is obsessed with dinosaurs, so this was a really good one for us. I felt a little bit bad for Briansaurus in the pond. It is a really cute story of just being yourself but also that pretend play that kids do all the time.
Illustrations look simple but they do work with the story and I liked it

This was a fun, whimsical book. Cute pictures. A little lesson about being yourself. I received a free advance reader copy, and I am submitting my review voluntarily.

The illustrations were super cute, and I liked the overall message of the book. It was a quick bedtime read. There were definitely undertones of some current issues that made it feel a little off putting to me though.

As a frog AND dinosaur lover, I had to open this one up. What a wonderful tale of not just being oneself, but accepting others as they are and want to be. A story also with apologies and fun. Brianosaurus will be a hit in classrooms, especially in froggy ones like ours!

I loved this story! The illustrations were clear and bright. I liked the idea of finding where you belong in such a relatable way.

A cute story illustrating to kids that it's okay to be who you want, however that may be. Being different from expectations isn't a bad thing.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and author for the chance to review in exchange for an honest opinion.

I am an Early Years practitioner and I think this book would go down well with my class of Preschoolers. Dinosaurs and animals are always a big hit and this book includes opportunities for the children to roar along with the main character. The images are clear and bright which I always find is what gets them to choose their favourites from the book corner. I also found this to flow easily meaning it can be read well aloud and funny voices can be done alongside too which makes for great group reading. This book also offers opportunities for children to think about who they are and also talk about their feelings.

Really great children's book that puts a twist on a typical frog character. He wants to explore doing other things than what frogs/ dinosaurs are supposed to do and wants to be himself. A great story for any child to enjoy.

This is really really cute. I struggled at first because I thought the title was “Brain” and not “Brian.” But the message is heartwarming and important! And very well presented for a deep concept. It’s a unique spin on a very common idea! I loved it.

Love the illustration to this book. I read it to my daughter and we had fun imitating the dinosaur roars. I think this is a great book to show children they can express themselves in anyway even if others may have their opinions of how one “should act” or how something “should be”. This is a great read for those who are trying to get their children to 1,000 books before kindergarten.

I received this advanced reader copy from NetGalley for an honest review.

Ahah This is such a fun read and very witty. Brian discovers that there were frogs during dino times so he decides to become one, Roarrr... while the forest animals love the idea, it doesn't go well after a while because they expect him to act as a dino not as a frog or like Brian at all. In the pond, things do not go well either. The other frogs don't want a dino around, they are frogs. The first solution that Brian finds doesn't work either, but both the pond and the forest animals realize they are being mean. The last solution is the best. Love the simple but filled with fun and loud illustrations. This is such a great and fun read to remind us of being to accept others and be more ourselves.
Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for this e-arc.

I loved the message of this book. Brian faces big, real world problems in a way that is relatable for the smallest kids. He loves dinosaurs, and when he decides to become one, the adults in his life react badly. His friends who accept him being a dinosaur can't accept that is just one piece of him. The moral that being your total self authentically is one that kids of all ages need in their lives.

The illustrations are great, its colorful and engaging without being overwhelming. I think this would be a great classroom book.

We (my kids and me) really enjoyed this one! The message about being yourself is great and my 3 and 5 year old were both really able to grasp that the others weren't being kind and accepting initially. They also loved the pictures and laughed a lot! Great story.

This book was adorable. In our house, we love books about frogs and dinosaurs - with this combination, the boys loved it. It was readable and will be repeated and easy enough for the 6-year-old to read it to his brothers.

Brianosaurus just wants to be himself but other keep telling him he can’t do things because that’s not was dinosaurs do. Brianosaurus is who is he is and stands up for himself. His friends accept him and all is well. This is a perfect story to teach children to accept people. It also teaches children they are not restricted by anything and they can be themselves. I loved the illustrations!

Great book, great message. This book is about inclusion and your right to be accepted for who you are. A great message for little people and big!

I love the illustrations as well. This book is a must in every child's library 😍

The storyline follows Brian, a dinosaur who is a bit different from his peers. Instead of roaring like a typical dinosaur, Brian has a unique talent for playing the ukulele. This unexpected skill sets him on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance, teaching young readers valuable lessons about embracing individuality and following one's passions. Adamson's charming illustrations bring Brian to life, capturing the essence of his quirky personality and the comical situations he finds himself in. The vibrant and expressive artwork adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the narrative, making it a visual treat for readers of all ages. What sets Brianosaurus apart is its ability to entertain while conveying important messages about self-expression and acceptance. The book encourages young readers to celebrate their differences and appreciate the diverse talents that make each individual special.

Overall, Ged Adamson's Brianosaurus is a captivating and heartwarming tale that is sure to become a favorite in any child's bookshelf. It's a must-read for anyone who enjoys a good laugh and a meaningful story about friendship, acceptance, and the power of being true to oneself.
