Lovely story and illustrations!
I read this to my 2nd grader and 3 year old, and it held their attention throughout. The illustrations were stellar, cartoony but very detailed.

Young dinosaur lovers will enjoy this book. It is a short story with not many explanations, but it has great illustrations.

Beautiful pages for the little dinosaur lover in your life. Inside you’ll find adventure and descriptive words, rhyming and an index with definitions.

Some of the sentences are small and it was hard for my goddaughter to follow along, but she enjoyed the illustrations fine. Some things are hard to follow because she didn’t know what some of the words meant yet, and it’s a very short story with Barry any explanations for things.

We enjoyed it but we really would’ve loved a deeper dive into the world, it just barely seemed to touch the surface.

This is a short and quick book. This book is about a day in a type of dinosaur's day. The vocab words are introduced followed by the meaning. Students can be introduced to context clues and inferencing using this short story. Lessons with vocab and science can also be incorporated using this book.

This is a wonderful picture book about a Deinonychus. I loved the vibrant colors and beautiful settings. The Deinonychus is crafty and clever. Completely kid friendly, yet educational!

My three year old loves dinosaurs so I was eager to review this book. It’s hard to find an informative book that is also an age appropriate story for a three year old, and this book strikes that balance! I love the artwork, the storyline around a family, and the information provided. I hope a whole series comes of this!

As a mom and a dinosaur lover this book was perfect. Easy to understand with beautiful art and a dictionary in the back for some of the harder for kid words.

This book gave great insight into what a day looked like for Deinonychus and even had a fact page a out the dinosaur species in the back.

As a homeschooling mom I want to own this whole series!

We really enjoyed this book! This story style non-fiction is a great preschool read (but my 7 year old also followed along with no complaints when I read it to his brother). The illustrations are beautiful and the way the story weaves in the facts makes it easy to read. Some non-fiction books can get clunky when they try for a story style. This book does not suffer from that pitfall. We will be checking out the other dinosaur books by this author!

I would have loved this book as a child! I can't wait to add this book to our collection and see all the children love it as much as I did!

A pretty cute read. I do feel maybe there could’ve been more to the storyline. The pictures were gorgeous though. I think my dinosaur obsessed toddlers will love this one.

This book is for all "Dinosaur Lovers" old and young. Such a cute story of Deinonychus who takes an adventure, while out she gets stuck in a thunderstorm and finds shelter where she takes a nap. When the storm ends she wakes up hungry and begins her search for food that leaves her falling into a ravine. She's finally able to get out of the ravine and find her hunting group.

This book was illustrated beautifully and the store was so cute.

Getting to read the new DK books has got to be one of the highlights of parenthood. And my child was also enamored of this story! The deinonychus we follow feels like a rash, but resourceful, adolescent. Able to go off and hunt on her own, but still able to be scared by a thunderstorm, and sill enough to make some major blunders.

The artist takes the time to cover the full page with scenery. Not just distant vistas, but also period-accurate plantlife in the foreground, and many species of dinosaurs, big and small, roaming about, reacting to one another. The location is strongly reminiscent of the grand canyon, with a lot of small, twiggy plants and little skittering creatures for Deino to hunt.

The dinosaurs are also quite dynamic in their poses. Deinonychus is especially fluid, energetic, and silly. A lot of effort was put into giving her some personality, and I love her.

While deinonychus is a predator species, and the majority of the book is concerned with hunting, nothing is caught on-page. There’s one older catch early in the book, but it’s not bloody or anything, just a few bones and a bit of a brown lump. Honestly, a good choice for a kid’s book.

The book ends with an informational spread which isn’t too wordy. I’ve come across a lot of picture books lately with 3+ pages of DENSE text at the end, so it was a delight to see this method. IT’s another 2 page full-color and background spread, illustrating deinoncychus and pointing out parts of her anatomy. There’s a few little blocks dedicated to pronunciation and definitions. It’s something a young reader can actually handle!

A must-buy for kids deep in their dino phase!

Thanks to Netgalley and DK for the ARC of this!

My dinosaur lover really enjoyed this! The art and story were cute. My tiny complaint was the pronunciation guide was at the end - I would’ve loved it to be next to the names of the dinosaurs within the story.

One of the things that I look for in childrens books, is a book that is interesting to children, but still uses descriptive words and vocabulary that challenged children. This book has that! The story of the dinosaurs day is exciting and descriptive. The vocabulary used leads to learning and questions from children. My children loved the illustrations, and I did too! This book really was enjoyable to read for the whole family.

In this tale of how Deinonychus spends her day hunting, we learn facts about the Deinonychus and see other dinosaurs that were around during that point in history. This cute picture book was so much fun to read with my Dino lovers and the fun facts at the end were the icing on top. I definitely recommend!

What a fun, informative book that follows a lesser talked about dinosaur, the deinonychus, a dinosaur with feathers! The story follows the day in the life of a deinonychus as it hunts its prey, takes a nap, and spends time with its kin. The art is in a bright color scheme that kids are sure to enjoy, too.

Follow along as a curious, clever Deinonychus navigates a typical day. My 6-year-old loves deinonychuses, so we were very excited to check out this book. The deinonychus character is a lot of fun, exploring and solving problems. Facts are sprinkled throughout the narrative smoothly and backmatter provides extra information. A fun read for dino-lovers!

This is a really fun way to teach kids about different dinosaurs and their hunting techniques! The illustrations are really cute too.
