Welcome to the Cretaceous! It's full of the coolest creatures that ever walked the Earth! And Jamie and Tom have found a secret gateway that will take them there for adventures whenever they want. Today the boys and their wannanosaurus pal, Wanna, are on the hunt for a quetzalcoatlus - one of the biggest flying reptiles ever. It's not long before they spot the creatures gliding through the air and as one swoops down, the boys are amazed at how huge it is. But when it picks up Wanna and flies away with him, it's time for the boys to launch a rescue mission and find their little friend. This is the fourth book in the hugely popular Dinosaur Cove series which has now sold over a million copies.
Read and rated with my 8 yr old son. His thoughts: “It was good and it had a lot of action, a lot of movement. I learned a lot about that dinosaur, wait, not dinosaur…prehistoric reptile. It’s about how Jaime and Tom go into Dino Cove and they find that Wanna has a nest. They go looking for quetzys because that’s why they came there. And quetzy nests are near the edge of cliffs so they have room to spread their wings. The mother quetzy pushes the baby off the edge so they can learn how to fly and to feed them; the father quetzy comes and pukes on the baby quetzys from the food he ate earlier.”
I like this book because: 1. It is adventurous; 2. It has a normal start, then the story goes queer; 3. The story is long, and you don't finish in one day.
