I've only read one other book in this series， but I liked this one。 No， it's not realistic， and the rhymes aren't perfect。 But it was cute， and my son liked it （especially finding some of the extra details in the illustrations）。 I've only read one other book in this series， but I liked this one。 No， it's not realistic， and the rhymes aren't perfect。 But it was cute， and my son liked it （especially finding some of the extra details in the illustrations）。 。。。more

How to Catch a Dinosaur is about first graders trying to figure out how to catch a dinosaur for their science fair project because they don't believe they are extinct。 As the book progresses the dinosaur they are after is always one step ahead of them- escaping the traps， outsmarting the traps， that the first graders ultimately submit the items they used to try to catch the dinosaur， which was a dinosaur catching robot and a bucket of pink ooey googey slime， into the science fair hoping to get s How to Catch a Dinosaur is about first graders trying to figure out how to catch a dinosaur for their science fair project because they don't believe they are extinct。 As the book progresses the dinosaur they are after is always one step ahead of them- escaping the traps， outsmarting the traps， that the first graders ultimately submit the items they used to try to catch the dinosaur， which was a dinosaur catching robot and a bucket of pink ooey googey slime， into the science fair hoping to get second or third place and they still get first prize。 The illustrations took up the entire pages with sections where the words were printed so it engages the students in looking and visualizing the words being read to them， they are very detailed and vibrant illustrations that kids have loved listening to whenever i read it to them。 。。。more

This is a fun book for very young readers and has nice rhyming text with very colorful pictures。 It also has a surprising ending。

This is a really fun addition to the series。 Some of the rhymes are harsh and throw off the cadence， but the story and the great illustrations will see kids reading these books for years to come。#Wintergames #teamreadnosereindeer +16

Super fun book for dino loversMy preschooler is so into dinosaurs。 She made me read this book to her over and over again。 She loved all the fun and silly ways the kids try to catch a dino。 She has lots of other fun ideas too on how to catch the t-rex。 Pages are colorful and vibrant。The ending was a bit rushed。

Read this with my kindergarteners。 My kids that were totally into dinosaurs wished we got to see more of it instead of just the tale in almost every scene。 Made you wonder if they were ever going to catch it。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Wait so the white boy is the only one who gets a bike？ Not the rest of the team？ My son was entertained by this （kindle unlimited） book， but we both wondered how they were going to share the prize。 Illustrations can enrich stories and even surpass the written language in picture books， but they also can convey subtle messages。 The beginning appeared to show each child working on a separate science project， but we then realized they were all planning as a team （even though the story is told from Wait so the white boy is the only one who gets a bike？ Not the rest of the team？ My son was entertained by this （kindle unlimited） book， but we both wondered how they were going to share the prize。 Illustrations can enrich stories and even surpass the written language in picture books， but they also can convey subtle messages。 The beginning appeared to show each child working on a separate science project， but we then realized they were all planning as a team （even though the story is told from the perspective of one child）。 So the winner page was confusing and disappointing （everyone has a first place ribbon， one kid also has the bike prize） 。 The main character got despondent and frustrated， and the support cast encouraged and showed the way。 With the current climate of entitled pouty white men in power， I'd love for our kids to have a different example even in pleasure reading。 （This reaction grew on me this morning。 We did overall enjoy the problem solving aspect of trying to catch a dinosaur。） 。。。more

Not too impressed with this one。 The idea behind it is fun enough-a boy wants to win first prize at the science fair and thinks catching a dinosaur would be his best chance。 His friends help him set traps but each fails。 In the end their traps help them win the science fair and the dinosaur is seen in its dwelling under the school。 They did mention connections to some of the descendants of dinosaurs such as birds and sharks， and I think that would’ve been a more interesting and valuable directio Not too impressed with this one。 The idea behind it is fun enough-a boy wants to win first prize at the science fair and thinks catching a dinosaur would be his best chance。 His friends help him set traps but each fails。 In the end their traps help them win the science fair and the dinosaur is seen in its dwelling under the school。 They did mention connections to some of the descendants of dinosaurs such as birds and sharks， and I think that would’ve been a more interesting and valuable direction to spin the “catching a dinosaur” and science fair theme。 Maybe they could’ve caught creatures today who have been around as long as dinosaurs/are directly related such as dragonflies， birds， reptiles， etc。 Aside from that， I thought the rhyme scheme wasn’t great， nor were the illustrations。 。。。more

We have read several books in this series and I don’t really feel like they were trying with this one。 The traps were pretty simple， but they also ended up in the Science fair。 It’s never explained why dinosaurs are around accept that sharks and alligators are from that time so dinosaurs should be around too。 The premise is the same， kids setting up traps to catch a dinosaur。 We see trap after trap evaded page after page。 It’s a fine story with good rhyming text。 Maybe the freshness is wearing o We have read several books in this series and I don’t really feel like they were trying with this one。 The traps were pretty simple， but they also ended up in the Science fair。 It’s never explained why dinosaurs are around accept that sharks and alligators are from that time so dinosaurs should be around too。 The premise is the same， kids setting up traps to catch a dinosaur。 We see trap after trap evaded page after page。 It’s a fine story with good rhyming text。 Maybe the freshness is wearing off for me。 The nephew loved this story。 He loved seeing the dinosaur living under the school at the end。 He did say he could come up with better traps than those kids did。 He began planning in his head what to do。 He thinks he can do anything。 He gave this 4 stars。 。。。more

Really liked this book， particularly how the mom is an engineer and the kids design all these gadgets to catch the dinosaur。 Also liked the ending。

A rhyming picture book where kids try to set traps to catch a dinosaur， and keep missing it。 This book is very similar to the dragon and unicorn books in the same series。
