Review

A funny graphic novel that has a little bit of everything!

A classroom of students, made up of various monsters, are off to an exciting first day of school. Their enthusiastic and unusual teacher leads them on a adventure that includes looking for the school pet -- that happens to be a dinosaur. The students set off to explore a new exhibit on dinosaurs while also looking for the absent pet. The students learn plenty of interesting facts about dinosaurs while at the same time they are trying to avoid the dinosaurs that have come to life. A special treat for kids who love dinosaurs and graphic novels! An entertaining, funny, and at times just plain silly book, that also provides informational text on dinosaurs.

Kids will be learning and not even know it! Back page provides information on internet site where additional dinosaur facts, links, projects and games are available.

Overall Book Score: very good
