Thank you to the author, Sourcebooks Jabberwocky and NetGalley, for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. My apologies for the delay in posting, I had several familial health challenges to contend with in the past months.

This children's book for the younger (pre-school and early readers) set is a fun and vibrantly colorful read. The rhyming story takes you through a day focused on all things dinosaur, with lots of adventures and celebration of dinos. The illustrations go well with the text, and there is a surprise hidden in the progression of the story.

Dinosaur Day is such a fun and engaging read! The rhyming text flows well and is fun for kids The illustrations are detailed, bright, and just amazing. My six year old is a big fan of Unicorn Day and loved this one as well even though she isn't a big fan of dinosaurs. She thought the duck was such a funny addition to the story!

Many thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Kids for the ARC!

Another hit Dinosaur book! I didn't know there was a Unicorn & Mermaid book in the same realm. I'll have to get my hands on those!

Dinosaur Day was a fun and beautiful! Both of my kids actually sat there the whole time to read this one. It's bright and vibrant so that helped keep the toddler interested. We loved the illustrations! The song in the book was so cute and catchy! This is another rhyming story, but it was a lot easier for my kid to catch than some other rhyming books. I highly recommend this one!

Dinosaur Day is a fun and silly picture book about dinosaurs. It's obviously not meant to really be informative about dinosaurs given that the dinosaurs and people are both living together, but it does have a message about having fun and including everyone. My kids enjoyed the interactive moments (example: stomping feet) and bright illustrations.

Thanks to Sourcebooks Kids Jabberwocky and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.

This is such a cute book for any dino loving kid. This book is colorful, shows different types of dinosaurs, and takes the kids on an adventure through a day with dinosaurs.

I highly recommend this book for anyone with a dinosaur loving kid. I will definitely be buying it for my child.

What a fun, loveable dinosaur read! Diana Murray did a wonderful job creating a lively environment with the dinosaurs singing along throughout their activities. Luke Flowers created beautiful, engaging illustrations that perfectly complement the story's theme. My preschoolers loved singing along and can’t wait to read this book again. :)

This book is beyond fun. The bright colors and the rhyme are perfect for a story time, or read aloud. The humor imbued in every page is also great for getting smiles and giggles out of kids and adults alike.

This is an adorable rhyming book about a day the dinosaurs come to play. I read this to both of my kids (5 and 2) and they both enjoyed it, though the 5 year old declared it was more a book for her younger brother at the end. With that said, she did say she thought the lava cake was funny and the duck was a surprise. My 2 year old loves dinosaurs and got up to stomp with them at the beginning. The rhyming in easy to follow, the pictures were cute, and the story was fun. A colourful romp for kids who like dinosaurs. We read this e-book through NetGalley.

I received an ARC copy thru net galley.

I read this to my second grader and her review is she liked it because it was about dinosaurs and the animal that makes a surprise appearance. I think she might be a little too old to appreciate the book.

I liked it because the illustrations are all bright and well drawn. This could easily be an hour long read by taking a closer look at all the details on the page. The story was cute and flowed well. It's a cute way to introduce kids to dinosaurs.

We loved Mermaid Day so were very excited to get Dinosaur Day. My four year old and I both love the fun flowing rhymes and beautiful bright pictures! We look forward to adding it to our home library.

Gorgeous illustrations. I would add some direction in the beginning to clarify that we will be going on an adventure with all the possibilities of Dino day. I was co fused after the parade then they made lava cakes.

Dinosaur books are a dime a dozen because they are so popular but this one is worth a whole lot more. The illustrations are adorable and show a great attention to detail. The verses flow off of the page and are super clever. A must have book for all dinosaur lovers!

Dinosaur day : a dynamite reading journey!

This book was a resounding success with my group!
The illustrations are exceptionally vibrant, imaginative, and delicate, showcasing a meticulous attention to detail, even in the trees, where a heart can be discovered.

Prior to performing the Dino song in front of a live audience, I practiced it thoroughly to ensure my accuracy and avoid any stumbling during storytelling.

When reading the story to different age group children, I noticed that they all requested that the book be read again and again!
Depending on their age, they would either mumble or sing the dinosaur songs.

If you are seeking to captivate the attention of dinosaur-loving children, this book is an excellent choice.
The book’s length is suitable for both evening reading sessions and storytime.
For young readers, the book’s multisyllabic words can provide an engaging challenge.
The author’s meticulous attention to detail in both the text and illustrations is evident throughout the book.
You have little hearts in the eyes of a dinosaur, the lava cake looks scrumptious and I could go on and on.

The book’s vibrant colors, well-paced story and captivating songs, along with the exquisite illustrations, ensure its potential for significant success with both girls and boys.

For all young dinosaur enthusiasts, this book offers an enjoyable and colorful keepsake.

My opinions of this book are my own.
I would like to express my gratitude to #NetGalley and #Sourcebooks for providing me with an advance copy of this book #DinosaurDay.

Such a fun and colorful read! My six year old had a blast reading it with me. He’s not my dinosaur fan. That award goes to my 13 year old but he thinks he’s too big for this type book.
The illustrations are gorgeous and fun to look at and find items. We will definitely be reading this frequently!

I received an ARC of this title, all opinions are my own.

This book was just a whole lot of fun, and the illustrations are absolutely stunning!
