Book Review: Stomp, Soar, Dino Roar by Max Amato & Brendan McAuliffe
Rating: 4 Stars
OMG, I just finished reading Stomp, Soar, Dino Roar by Max Amato and Brendan McAuliffe, and I absolutely loved it! This book is truly a delightful gem for kids (and honestly, for dino-loving adults like me too).
So, let me give you a summary of the story. It follows Terri the Triceratops as she navigates her vibrant world filled with all sorts of intriguing sounds. From the rustles of little critters to the rumblings of distant volcanoes, every page is an auditory adventure. Terri embarks on a journey through the Late Cretaceous Period, and along the way, she encounters new friends and learns how to find her own voice—especially when danger is lurking. It's such a fun way to explore what life was like for dinosaurs back in the day!
Now, let's talk about the illustrations. They are simply adorable! The bright colors really pop off the pages, making it feel like you're right there with Terri as she stomps through her prehistoric playground. And can we take a moment to appreciate the pronunciation guides? They're such a thoughtful addition that make it easy for kids (and parents!) to sound out those tricky dinosaur names.
One of my favorite parts of the book is the educational fact guide at the end. It provides a treasure trove of information about the dinosaurs and their world. It's great because it combines fun storytelling with learning—perfect for any small dino lover out there!
Overall, Stomp, Soar, Dino Roar is a charming read that captivates both the imagination and curiosity of young readers. I highly recommend it as a gift for any little dinosaur enthusiast in your life. Trust me, they will adore it just as much as I did!
