About this deal

let's change the illustrations for the Asian characters, please, because green skin and closed eyes are not okay. I thought this was a fun enjoyable book to read about pets whilst also including a variety of representative characters throughout to make every child feel included. It would be good for 1:1 reading too as there are some prediction opportunities where an illustration replaces a word.

If you didn't look at the cover art, you'd probably think it was some little white boy, based on my description. Il testo è in rima, così è facile sia per i bambini sia per chi legge, dare un ritmo incalzante alla storia; anche i disegni sono molto belli, ricchi di particolari da scoprire e commentare insieme al proprio bimbo. Dogs are nice, she already has a cat, but the girl who narrates the story is looking for a different kind of pet. As another reviewer pointed out, this book is great except for the three small illustrations of Asian children that are unsettling. It would need lots of food to eat, a swimming pool to drink from, and a dino flap so it could come and go!

She's a little black girl and she loves dinosaurs because, yes, kids who are not male and who are not white also like dinosaurs. In online images, the color of the Asian children seems less offensively yellow than it does in the printed book in front of me.

The kid imagines what it would be like to have a dinosaur and it's pretty much the same as every kid who imagines having a pet dinosaur but look at how she brushes its teeth! I particularly love that the story is about a little girl as so many dino books are targeted at boys and its doubly great that she happens to be non-white too. Written in lively, witty rhyme and accompanied with charming, childlike illustrations, If I Had a Dinosaur will leave both adults and children wanting a dinosaur of their very own!

Educational but silly, this is the perfect book to read with a child that is starting to attach words with images. Maar tegelijk: het is één figurant, zonder actieve rol in het verhaal, waar je los over kijkt als je het boek leest op het ritme van de vlotte rijmende tekst. It would give her a ride to school, but she needs to make sure she has lots of food for it to eat, a swimming pool-sized a water bowl and a giant cat flap! Many of the words are substituted for images, which makes for a very engaging reading experience with a little one.

Lovely picture book with the ability to assist children to make connections between what they are seeing and reading. This is one that I will NOT do again, and it is a good reminder for me to pay closer attention to the illustrations before selecting storytime books. I was really surprised to come to GoodReads and see the negative ratings, and was horrified that I hadn't noticed the racist illustrations, but it appears my copy has been updated - thank goodness! Er zijn een aantal reviews die kritiek geven op het feit dat er een Aziatisch kindje voorkomt in het boek met een groenige huidskleur en spleetogen.The bright, joyful pictures made me happy except for in the instances they made me question the illustrator's ability to draw.

And she’s totally up to caring for it: she would feed it lots of leafy greens and dig it a nice pond to swim in, even brush its teeth. Looking again at this book, I'm reminded of the Cousin Chin-Kee character from American Born Chinese. Note: A copy of this book was provided to The Baby Bookworm by the author in exchange for an honest review.Gabby Dawnay's rhyming text and Alex Barrow's simple yet evocative illustrations combine beautifully. With playful illustrations, If I Had a Dinosaur is a charming, witty, rhyming story celebrating the power of a child’s imagination. I just loved the look on the cat's face when that landed next to it), and many more other fun things.
