Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
The Girl's Guide to Dinosaurs
McGann · 2019
72/100
👍 Worth It
Julie McGann spotted a real gap and filled it with warmth — a dinosaur book that swaps menace for imagination and invites little girls to play, not just learn. The bright art does the heavy lifting and reviewers responded genuinely. A narrow target audience and modest critical footprint keep this from ranking higher, but for its intended reader it delivers.
