Personal Choice:

OK, I thought the movies were cool on a number of levels. Great showcase for CGI movies, witty humour in many places, multi-layered for maximum fun for adults, while still fun for young'uns... but I wouldn't say I am a die-hard fan of Shrek.

That's why I wouldn't rate this book too highly. Sure, it introduces all the characters, and sure it's printed on full-colour-glossy stock, and is hardcover... but not really worth the lion's share of $50.

Overall, cute, but nothing worth hunting majorly. It'll be on the Warehouse shelves cheaper than that in the not-too-distant future. Sorry folks, but this one is just a bit overpriced for what it is... a kids amusement book. Maybe some stickers in the next one or something... interactive is the way to go.

Score: 7.3
Product reviews for listing 9027: We Saw a Spinosaurus - Written by Kyle Mewburn & Daron Parton

"We were trying not to snorus
(sometimes school is such a borus),
when we heard a growling chorus
floating down the corridorus."

Three children spy a dinosaur walking through the school... followed by another... and another... and another! They decide to follow them - and what a surprise they find!

Shhh, kids! Join in and find out where those spiky, stompy, swishy dinosauruses are going... but don't let ... more...
