From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3-- This quiet book invites readers to share a young stegosaurus's world. Amid dragonflies and spiders floating in the warm air, this youngster hides from Pterodactyls, runs from an Allosaurus, helps to guard a new egg, warns his parents of an oncoming Ornitholestes, and welcomes a baby sister. Sweat's pencil drawings with oil wash bring the cartoonlike drawings to life. The book presents prehistoric facts in an entertaining fashion that will be truly accessible to its intended audience. However, the anthropomorphized stegosaurus will add confusion, for he ". . . wanted to be big and strong," among other sentiments. For a story, this title is very factual; for nonfiction, it's fictionalized. While this may bother adult readers, it will not be a barrier for young listeners. Add it if more picture books on dinosaurs are needed. --Carolyn Noah, Central Mass. Regional Library System, Worcester, MA
