“This whimsical tale…celebrates friendship, cooperation, and the idea that everyone’s got strengths and talents worthy of respect—and wittily turns the meteors-killed-off-dinosaurs theory on its ear. The dynamic digital illustrations are comically appealing…A saur-ingly fun read. Hand this to those who love dinos and all things science.” —Kirkus Reviews
