This is a fun to read book with lovely pictures that capture the story. My son has it memorized. As an adult, I like the interplay between the child and her parents (she's imagining dinosaurs everywhere, and they keep telling her what real-life things she's seeing or hearing).

I really loved this book. I have a 7 and a 4 year old who also very much enjoyed the book. Its easy to tell that the Kirkus reviewer lacked the imagination of a child, and reviewed it from a complete adult perspective.

This book compliments antoher one I have where children see cut outs that look like one thing, but are really something else. "I Met a Dinosaur" makes the reader look closely at what is, and think about what might be. I will enjoy sharing this with my students in the fall.

This book has amazing illustrations and a wonderful story that my boys can absolutely relate to. I also love that the main character is a girl. It was also the catalyst for us to go the museam of natural history in NY. Great day!

This is a gorgeously illustrated book and a great story. It's the kind of book you want to give to all the kids you know, and have lying on your coffee table. The text and the art work really well together to tell a clever story about how imagination can enrich our life. You'll love it.
