Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Princesses Versus Dinosaurs
Linda Bailey · 2020
80/100
👍 Worth It
This is a genuinely clever picture book — the meta-narrative of two factions arguing over whose story it is could easily feel gimmicky, but Bailey and Ang make it sing. Kirkus called it an absolute blast, and that tracks: the humor lands for kids and adults equally, and the inclusion message arrives without any of the heavy-handedness that typically sinks it.
