This is a fun story that shows that even a big scary dinosaur can be fun to play with.

The ending has a sweet surprise and the story will appeal to young children.

The illustrations are colorful and cartoonish and the simple, bilingual narrative is good for beginning readers.

Such cute little primary level books. I’m enjoying reading and improving my reading skills while on covid lockdown.

I was excited to find this bilingual reader used at a store. The story is kind of cute, but the dinosaurs look scary. Maybe that is the point, though--the big one looks terrifying, but it turns out he's just Grandpa.

I was a little worried Lily would be afraid of the pictures, but she was okay with it.

Most of the dinosaurs are afraid of the biggest dinosaur. But one little dinosaur is different and challenges the biggest dinosaur to 'Catch me if you can!' Delightful tale with a twist at the end. I enjoyed the art. Useful for learning some vocabulary of the anatomy of animals.

La mayoría de los dinosaurios tienen miedo del dinosaurio más grande. Pero una pequeña dinosaurio es diferente y desafía el dinosaurio más grande, '¡A que no me alcanzas!' Un cuento gozoso con una vuelta interesante al fin. Me gusta el arte. Es útil para aprender unas palabras de la anatomía de animales.

This book was about dinosaurs who were afraid of the biggest one. They all hid behind rocks when the biggest one always came out, and showed its gleaming sharp teeth and its long swishy tail and its big sharp claws. Some dinosaurs ran from his tail and they ran from his sharp teeth and claws. One little dinosaur came out and said "catch me if you can." And said "I am not afraid of your claws and your teeth."

I liked this book a lot. My favorite part is when the dinosaurs are hiding.
