My Kid Review
Sarah Gaston has written a delightful book for toddlers and preschoolers. Many children of this age-group are obsessed with dinosaurs. They also enjoy spending time with their friends. Gaston has combined the two and created a story about a young dinosaur who is excited to go to church with his family and to see his friends at church. She includes activities of a typical church service – worshiping, hearing God’s word, and for some, coloring a paper to go with the sermon.
Mousam Banerjee has crafted some delightful illustrations to complement the text. Children will enjoy looking at the pictures.
Even though Baby Dino Goes to Church is written for the younger audience, I do think it could find a place in the picture book section of a K-12 Christian school library. Kindergarteners and first graders will enjoy it. It would also be a good example for a writing class about how to turn a simple activity into a delightful book for children.
I received a complimentary copy of Baby Dino Goes to Church from the author through Interviews & Reviews. This is my honest review.
