My son loved this one. It was silly and fun but with a great lesson. The illustrations were lovely (he asks to read it almost every night)!

I want to start by thanking the author and publisher for the opportunity to read an advanced release copy of this book. I thought this was a super cute book that I would buy.

This book is a lot of fun. Dinosaurs, pirates, bright colors, and poop… what more could a preschooler ask for?

We liked the illustrations and bright colored dinosaurs, flora, and fauna. We really enjoyed the silly crew and our super small Pirate Captain. The antics were silly and a testament to kindness.

Thank you to NetGalley and Publisher Spotlight for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Treasure of the Dinosaurs is a silly and adventurous tale about how kindness pays dividends. When a band of pirates lands on a new island, they end up helping a scary dinosaur, unsure of what the consequences will be. HOWEVER, rather than eating them, the dinosaur pays the gang back in treasure! This is a fun story, beautifully illustrated, and kids will enjoy flipping through it again and again. A positive lesson makes this a worthwhile addition to your unissued lover’s collection.

Pint-sized pirate Captain Jack and his crew sail away to an island to discover the Treasure of the Dinosaurs. Unfortunately, Captain Jack gets separated from his crew, and he goes through a lot of adventures (including ending up in dino dung — yuck!) before he performs a kindness and is rewarded.

Alicia Acosta’s story is just so-so, but Mónica Carretero’s bright illustrations really carry this book, making it a great present for any child with a love of pirates.

In the interest of full disclosure, I received this book from NetGalley, Publisher Spotlight and NubeOcho in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you for the ARC. Wow, those illustrations were so vibrant and bright and well done. My son loves dinosaurs and really enjoyed this book. We loved learning about different types of dinosaurs. Loved even how the big ole T. rex had tears.

Thanks to NetGalley and Publisher Spotlight | NubeOcho for the ARC! This was a great pirate adventure! It named several dinosaurs and the illustrations depicted them well. The journey takes you through the island introducing dinosaurs and the crazy things that happen. I definitely would read this to my class!

Awesome book! I love how the author combined two things that little kids love: dinosaurs and pirates. The cover design and the title will no doubt draw young readers in from an initial glance, and this book is going to be very popular. Additionally, the plot was perfectly done! The author included many different types of dinosaurs in the plot, and there was a lot going on at every moment, without the book feeling overwhelming. Young readers will be easily engaged throughout this entire book, and will be very entertained by the excitement on each page. The ending was also amazing, because it was humorous but also included a small moral. Lastly, I admired the illustrations because the illustrator allowed their personal art style to really shine through and they were brought to life with bright and vivid colors, which fit the story well. I just know that kids will fall in love with this book and it will definitely become a favorite!
