Fiction in a non-fiction book about on dinosaurs.

In this unique 40-page picture book, I liked the original point of view presenting dinosaurs as dancers. The author succeeded writing a story in a non-fiction book. The illustrator draw fabulous, and hilarious dance of dinosaurs. In the second part of this book, I learned a lot on these animals. The author wrote both dinosaurs name and how to pronounce them. There is a song available to dance with the dinosaurs!
Highly recommended for dinosaurs lovers. Ideal for 6 to 8-year-old readers. In the second part of the book, first readers will need some help to read and understand concepts.
The author gave me a free copy of her book for an honest review.

When Dinosaurs go Dancing by Judy Cook is an adorable explanation of how the dinosaurs left
their footprints behind. This story explores the different possible dances they could have been doing at the time the prints were made. The illustrations are precious. However this story isn't all fun and games. It gives historical facts about the dances, dinosaurs, and fossils. It would be a great addition to a child’s bookshelf or classroom library. Five stars
