Description
*Published by our sister imprint, Beaming Books
An ordinary rock leads to a spectacular adventure!
When a group of kids find an ordinary rock on the playground, anything can happen. "It's a dinosaur seed!" Flora declares. Wyatt and Cece immediately catch on, and the three kids plant the seed and wonder what it will grow into, building on each other's ideas. But Victor is confused. "Rocks don't grow," he says. "Even if you water them." Before he misses out on their adventure, the friends help Victor find his own way into the game.
Inspired by the improv concept "yes, and . . . ," The Dinosaur Seed captures the creativity and authentic voice of kids left to their own devices. The individual personalities of Cece, Flora, Wyatt, and Victor shine as they dream a boring rock into a spectacular adventure together, modeling cooperative, inclusive play.

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.
Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

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.

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.
