When I Grow Up, I Want to Be a Dinosaur (When I Grow Up Collection)

Wow. I really liked this story. I found it to be a very creative way to teach children about the various dinosaurs as well as describe the work of a paleontologist. A little girl shares with her dream to become a dinosaur but doesn’t know which one. She describes each one to readers and eventually learns they no longer exist but realizes she could be a paleontologist instead. There are a lot of great facts, beautiful illustrations, and a positive tone to the story that make it a great read. I also like that the main character is a girl who likes dinosaurs, history, and desires to be a paleontologist. Great work! Highly recommend!

Oh my goodness, thanks so very much Ms Ruvalcaba, for this outstanding, well illustrated, informative, colorful book about dinosaurs! I give you three thumbs 👍👍👍 up for writing a book loaded with fun facts and words that we Googled to pronounce which caused me and my grandson to add to our vocabulary. It put us to work for our wisdom and knowledge! Thanks! I would recommend this book to parents and grandparents to read to their children to further their education and learning new things and words. I gave this book 5 stars because it gave us a challenge to look up and learn new words about dinosaurs! Be Blessed!❤️🙏🏾

We got this as a gift for a little girl who loves dinosaurs. I wanted a dinosaurs book but not just with facts and something that could grow with her a little bit when I came across this gem! So pleased with this book and the friend loved it too!

Cute, relatable, and educational. Great mix of education and fun. Given from the perspective of a curious explorer. Illustrations are beautiful and spark the imagination.

I really enjoyed sharing this book with my daughter and plan to recommend it for my nephew.It's Entertaining. Colorful. Informative.The MAP in the middle is great.Downside to the ebook.Wasn't able to read each page individually, format showed landscape for 2 pages on the vertical screen. So, I was enlarging and shrinking periodically.

Educational and filled with information about not only types of dinosaurs but also fossils and the jobs related to these amazing creatures. Although she can't be a dinosaur when she grows up there is a lot that can be done as a paleontologist.The artwork is great and shows different types of page design making the book feel very complete with tips and facts. At the end, there are pages with the information grouped for better understanding. Love how this project is carefully put together.The map double page illustration is spectacular.

I enjoyed this beautiful illustrated children's book. I'm sure all dinosaur-loving children will also enjoy it. It has just the right amount of text on each page as well as endearing, colouful drawings. The author explains all about complicated dinosaur -related concepts and a career in paleantology in terms that children ( and adults!) can understand. This book teaches us a lot in a short amount of time.

My son is 4 and a half and really enjoys this adorable book! Although some of it is over his head right now, he did just tell me this morning: “When I grow up, I want to be a paleontologist!!” What???!!! He actually said the whole word. He’s learning and remembering things from it! We love the illustrations and all the details. It is very well thought out!

This book is perfect for budding paleontologists! It provides details about dinosaurs and what a paleontologist does - and could give inspiration for young dino fans to use love of dinosaurs as a job opportunity. The book could be useful in schools or homeschooling situations. Lovely bright illustrations throughout as well as interesting facts.

This book goes beyond the average dinosaur book for kids. With lots of snippets of information about their extinction, how fossils are formed, how palaeontologists work, etc, even parents will learn something! I've been looking for something like this for my children for a while: an interesting yet fun book. And what great illustrations too! If your kids are into dinosaurs, they won't be disappointed with this book!

恐竜の紹介を英語で読むことができて良かった。主人公が女の子なのも、また良い。

What a lovely story as my first book of 2023, and where was this book 16 years ago when my kid was obsessed with dinosaurs?This story shows kids what a paleontologist does with a lot of fascinating facts about dinosaurs. A wonderful book for dinosaur loving kids (and adults)
