Gordon and Benny are headed to the museum on a class trip to see the dinosaurs! But something makes Gordon’s butt tingle....Kung Pow Chicken and Egg Drop will join with Beak Girl to help save their city in this dinosaur filled adventure!

Short chapters, lots of pictures, and fun adventure, this series is a big hit with my four year old! We are enjoying reading these aloud!!

[Charly Troff (JustaReadingMama) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Probably my least favorite book in the series, but the series is cute for a younger audience. All my kids from 4-11 loved it.

An accident in the lab and an evil paleontologist mean that Kung Pow Chicken, Egg Drop, and Beak Girl have to save Fowladelphia from being overrun by mind-controlled dinosaurs!

This was a whirlwind of an adventure. Blink and you'll miss important parts. As many times as I've seen time travel and dinos mixed, I don't think I've ever seen anyone try to use mind-controlled dinos on a modern city before...which is kind of crazy to think no one has come up with that yet. Kung Pow is learning to work better with Beak Girl and they make progress in this story.

Notes on content: Bad guys are apprehended through nonviolent means. No one is eaten or anything.
