PRAISE FOR DINO DAD
‘I bought this as a bedtime chapter book for my four-year-old – she adores Andy and dinosaurs, so this was a big hit! So much so is that we ended up reading it all over two bedtimes and we’re now on the fourth re-read! It’s a lovely storyline with some good giggles and excellent illustrations. We’d definitely recommend and we can’t wait for the next one!’ – Amazon reader review
