Review: Jurassic Park for real
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 11 6, 2013
Based on all the animated films about dinosaurs, and the number of dinosaur toys sold, it's obvious that kids share grown-ups' fascination with the prehistoric creatures. I've even seen kits where kids can "excavate" simulated dinosaur fossils. So it's not surprising that the youngster in the story went to the toy store looking for a dinosaur. While playing with a toy dinosaur, he got more than he bargained for, as the dinosaur unexpectedly came to life and started chasing the lad, apparently looking for a meal. Luckily for the boy, the dinosaur wasn't too hungry, and it agreed to play with him. Unfortunately, though, all that playing gave the dinosaur an appetite, and the boy was about to become the dinosaur's lunch. What now? Could he save himself, or would he end up in the dinosaur's belly?The story is for boys and girls from preschool through the first grade, and there's enough action and suspense to hold their attention. Each page features rhyming text and colorful illustrations that kids should enjoy. For youngsters who are unfamiliar with dinosaurs, the story offers an opportunity for parents to discuss these fascinating creatures with their kids.
