Unwrapping the story
This newest installment in the New York times and USA Today bestselling series is sure to delight every dinosaur fan!
"Can you catch a dinosaur
and prove they're still around?
Use your brain and set your traps
to get that dino found!
A young boy has set his sights on being first in his school's upcoming science fair. How does he plan to achieve his goal? He's going to catch a Dinosaur that's how. But will his dream become a reality?
With the help of his friends plans are hatched that just might do the trick. The excited dinosaur hunters head to the local park to try their luck at bagging a big old beast. They discover clues along the way that confirm that they are on the right track. Is catching a dinosaur obtainable? Will first prize, a bright red shiny bike, be theirs to keep?
The illustrations are truly remarkable. They bring expression, emotion and animation to the rhyming tale. As for the rhyming? Sad to say I found it awkward and choppy and extremely hard to read aloud as the text did not flow happily off of your tongue. I think kids will relate to the book because the illustrations are so strong and enrich and drive the storyline along. I just wish the rhyming was better then it would be winner for me for sure.

Meet the author
Adam Wallace is a Three time New York Times Bestselling author and cartoonist who loves writing and drawing ... this is lucky ... because he's an author and cartoonist who writes and draws!
Adam's passion is to bring excitement and energy and humour and joy to children (of all ages!) through his books and videos.
He spends his non-writing time thinking about writing and going to as many live music shows as he can. He's also teaching himself piano, and plays golf and runs too.
Adam's books include inspiring novels (The Pete McGee series), How to Draw books (Rhymes with Art), gross short stories (The Better Out Than In series), and funny, hilarious, crack-you-up books (Jamie Brown is NOT Rich and the Accidentally Awesome series)
