Book Synopsis
From the New York Times bestselling illustrator of Battle Bunny comes a laugh-out-loud story of a little sponge dinosaur that keeps growing…and growing…and growing….Cole is very excited about his new Dino-Gro toy. He can’t wait for it to reach its full size!
But when Dino-Grobecomes much larger than intended, Cole goes so far as to put Dino-Gro on a liquid-free diet and an exercise regimen, which don’t seem to make a difference! As Dino-Gro becomes so big that he can’t fit in the house, Cole learns that growing up and gettingbigger can have advantages too, even if you’re not a dinosaur.
For fans of Tiny T. Rex and We Don’t Eat Our Classmates, this sweet and hilarious read-aloud is fun for kids to learn the importance of growing up big and strong.
Review:
I enjoyed the illustrations and the overall story. I felt that the story is fairly accurate. I also think the story is reflective of how a parent sees their child. As the child grows, there will be less dependence and harder to control. As it should be. The end cracked me up the most. I feel that the humor is one that children and adults would appreciate.
