Pleasant nonsense, as a girl loses her sister in a game of hide and seek, but gains knowledge that the family have a secret magic way to go to a place of dinosaurs – where, for some slightly dubious reason, they become walking, talking, not-eating-each-other dinosaurs themselves. This first book is clearly troubled with setting the whole franchise up, as opposed to giving us a full-length story, but the fact the younger sister still needs to be caught does drive the narrative along and proves the very young age this is aimed at. It's full of brio and U-certificate drama, and I suppose the slapstick and bum-wiggling, head-bashing silliness would appeal, too. A very generous four stars.
