Review Quotes

The writing is snappy, especially when the dialogue is rendered in large hand-drawn letters ("WOAH, WOAH, WOOAAAHHH THAT'S A DINOSAUR!"), and the art throughout is consistently delightful. Kimo, of course, turns out to be the most adorable-est, cuddliest dino, and when he's covered with licks by his adoring saltasaurus family while a child on a ladder pats one of the parents...let's just say no reader will be able to resist. A Spanish-language edition, Adoptar un dinosaurio, proves just as charming. Humorous without a trace of snark, this Spanish import hatches just right. - Kirkus Reviews

Its entertaining artwork and feel-good family vibes will surprise and delight audiences as baby saltasaurus makes himself at home in the suburbs.

Families will enjoy reading all the animal names and making all the animal sounds. The illustrations are whimsical and full of fresh, light-filled colors. - Youth Services Book Review

What I really liked about this book is that it is so relatable. If there are any parents that have had a child that has begged and pleaded for a pet, this would be their book. - Youth Services Book Review
