REVIEW: Thank you so much to Turn the Page Tours and Random House for the copy of this book in exchange for a review and tour stop. I was so excited to be chosen for this tour as a former children's bookseller and a future teacher. This book was absolutely adorable! I read this book to my 7 year old twin boys and not only did they ooh and aah over the every growing dinosaur but they were laughing out loud. This is a great addition to any picture book shelf and classroom with a great message about growing big and strong.
