The imagination of the a group of kids on the playground runs wild in this book when one finds a cool rock. This was a fun journey with the kids through imaginative play with lovely illustrations.
Thank you to NetGalley and Broadleaf Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A super colorful picture book that explores the adventures of a child’s imagination. It follows several different children while playing at the park and the different adventures each of them come up with after finding a “dinosaur seed”. This book is simply written and would be a great book for a child learning to read to use as a read aloud!

A beautifully illustrated story that kids will love! The story is fun and imaginative and the characters are vibrant.

This idea was so funny and so well executed. Did they really find a dinosaur seed in the park? What would YOU do if you found a dinosaur seed in the park? The pictures are also so bright and engaging.

I was meh (3 stars) about this one when we first started- the illustrations are GORGEOUS but I wasn't the biggest fan of the spoken style text (and felt like it interrupted the illustrations) but my 7yo and 3yo laughed out loud during parts so I'm bumping up to 4 stars. They thought this was SO cute and silly and wanted to read it again, so clearly it's a hit.

I received an electronic ARC from Broadleaf Books through NetGalley.
Yankey encourages readers to use their imagination as they go on an adventure with these characters. Everyone is enjoying the park when one friend finds a "dinosaur egg." They plant it and a massive tree grows from the seed. We see them set off on an adventures all triggered by the rock they found. The artwork captures their imagination and brings the adventure to life. Readers can add to the fun by adding their own imaginative details to the story. My one concern is how small the font is for younger readers. This will be a joy filled read aloud to share as a family. It could launch readers into their own adventures from dinosaurs to space travel.

This is such a wonderful and beautiful book where you can see children's imagination run wild! I enjoyed the art in each page, and also loved the fact that every sentence is spoken by each character. I am sure a lot of children enjoy reading this, as well as playing like kids in this book.

Thank you for the ARC. I didn’t care for the children’s faces and some of the colors were too muted. The story itself was cute and imaginative.

When Cece and her friends find a mysterious 'dinosaur seed' on the playground, their day quickly turns into a wonderfully imaginative trip to space! With nostalgic, whimsical illustrations, this book totally captures the energy of a childhood day spent with friends.
