Where Do Dinosaurs Go on Vacation?

Kim Ann · 2020
65/100
👎 Skip It

This is cheerful, harmless fun — the hide-and-seek format and rhyming guessing game keep little ones engaged, and Kim Ann has clearly built a loyal read-aloud audience. But there is not much substance underneath the premise, and without any critical journal validation it is hard to place it above the many well-reviewed dinosaur picture books competing for the same shelf spot. A fine time-killer, but not a must-have.
