I received an electronic ARC from North Star Editions through NetGalley.
Maria and Mateo are back and enjoying an overnight at the Natural History Museum with their class. When they learn they'll be staying in the same room with the largest dinosaur skeleton, they get scared. A friend helps them calm down and explore the other areas of the museum. Then, when evening comes, Maria and Mateo discover that everyone is nervous/scared including their teacher. I appreciate this series for lower elementary. The stories connect to experiences readers have with their classes. Though they may not be the same, the emotions and reactions are similar. Brightly colored illustrations keep the story light. The discussion questions at the end will launch dialogue for classes and families.

Thank you so much to Jolly Fish Press and Netgalley for the ebook to read and review.

Maria and Mateo are having a sleep over at the museum, but they are scared when they learn they’ll be in the room with a giant man eating dinosaur. They have a fun day walking round looking at all the exhibits, but the final exhibit scares everyone including their teacher.

Really sweet, it’s only natural to be scared and I liked the way that this was written, showing the different levels of fear they all had. Even Lana who wasn’t scared at first as she’d been there before got a bit scared of the final exhibit, but with team work and Maria figuring out how to help to overcome her own and everyone else’s fears.

I really enjoy these books the characters are always so cute, they get the cutest stories, they learn so much but they are always so different and fun to read. I love the beautiful illustrations, the dinosaurs were drawn so well you could see why they were all scared. I loved getting to see more of Lana in the book, she showed them how not to be scared the first time. The book also offers facts, questions and a glossary of the Spanish words used within this story, which I always love seeing be included.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was a very fun read for kids. The story was adorable. It will be a great book for kids.

Maria and Mateo are back and this time at a school trip on the museum. When they learn they are going to be spending the night by the T-Rex skeleton, they are scared. However, they learn to conquer their fears.

This is cute, and has a glossary of Spanish-English words at the back, plus facts about dinosaurs. The plot is pretty simple, but it does a good job highlighting museums.

Cute little book about fears and how to confront them. Would be a lovely little addition to a young child's library.
I do wish, however, that it had went further into how to actually confront your fears and really linger on that fact. Perhaps provide some advice on it through the story.
At the same time I really liked the inclusion of the questions in the end. Hopefully, this would be read with a loving adult whom the child could discuss the book with and gain some advice on how to deal with your fears concretely.

You will be hooked after reading this book. The adventures will leave you wanting to read about the adventures of Maria and Mate series. I was unsure what to expect when I requested it, and I am so happy I did. I felt like I was in the museum going through the museum and all these children's feelings. What a fantastic book for younger readers.

Maria and Mateo are excited to go with their class to an overnight field trip to the natural history museum. At least they were excited until they realize they will be sleeping with massive dinosaurs. The cousins and their classmates quickly learn that they are not alone in their fear of the dinosaurs and must band together and be brave. A cute chapter book for early readers complete with discussion questions at the end.

I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Fright at the Museum is a great story for young children to learn about how to express themselves when they are scared or nervous. It can also help them build confidence in trying new things even if they are nervous.

This is a cute chapter book for children who are just starting to branch into them. It's apart of the Maria and Mateo Go on Field Trips series. I think kids will enjoy following this cast to different locations. And they'll be able to relate based on the field trips they themselves are attending. The length is especially great for reluctant readers.
