The silly, witty writing can make both kids and adults laugh, especially for anyone who loves dinosaurs. One great feature is that the story is written in both English and Spanish, making it a helpful tool for language learning and more inclusive for different families. Vaidehi Kulkarni, August 6, 2025 This was a fun, silly, book for kids! The story was so wild that it was incredibly engaging. The illustrations were non-traditional, but still lots of fun! We also liked that there was Spanish and English text right next to each other which created a great opportunity to improve our Spanish skills! Mark, August 26, 2025 Another kids' book that I would also highly recommend to adults with a good sense of humor. I have a weakness for dinosaur books, but this one is legitimately good. The illustrations are hilarious and really did remind me of Edward Gorey's style. The rhythm and rhyme were perfect, and the words themselves were clever, creative, and funny. I will definitely be reading this a few more times... - NetGalley reviewer Lisa D. 060524 Catching Dinos is an adorable children's book that immediately captured my heart with its storyline and beautiful dinosaur illustrations. -- E.W., Librarian 061724 I had so much fun reading this book, the story is so adorable and the illustrations were so well done and charming, there's so many little details in every page that I couldn't stop but be mesmerized by it all.
