Stop That Dinosaur!
I was in my Granny's kitchen eating extra-special cake,
when the walls began to tremble and the roof began to SHAKE.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK! Ring! Ring! Ring! Oh MY - a dino's at the door.
And now it's taken Granny . SOMEONE STOP THAT DINOSAUR!
Chase down the GRAN-NAPPING brontosaurus in this rollicking, rhyming, ROAR-some romp. Can you catch the naughty dinosaur and get back to Granny's house before Mum comes home at six o'clock?
From Alex English and Ben Cort, the bestselling illustrator of Alien Loves Underpants, comes an irresistibly rib-tickling book that kids will want to read again and again . and AGAIN!

5☆ A rip roaring dinosaur adventure
Firstly I want to start by saying I absolutely adore the stunning cover. It's perfectly eye catching and will appeal to all ages.
This story is about a Dinosaur who knocks on the door and steals Granny whilst she's having tea with her Grand Daughter.
So she sets out to save her Granny and most importantly..... "Stop That Dinosaur "
The writing style was beautifully rhymed almost Lyrical and I found myself getting into the story and shouting out...."STOP THAT DINOSAUR 🦕" which children will really enjoy!
The story had many important messages such as, Be Kind, Don't steal... especially Granny's 🙊, That everyone can be lonely even animals and to never give up.
I think this story would be perfect for ages 5-8years. The characters were lovable, the plot flowed along seamlessly, the illustrations were simply superb!
It was an action packed fun adventure that children will get excited about.
Would I recommend reading this amazing Children's Picture Book?.....Without a Doubt.....100%.... Yes!!!
Thank you to Kaleidoscopic Tours and Bloomsbury Publishing for this copy which I reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

This is a sparkly, eye-catching book,
With bold illustrations that just make you want to look.
When you do, you'll find inside
A huge dinosaur - but don't try to hide!
The brontosaurus has come and kidnapped Gran
He grabbed her quickly and then just ran!
But he's not going to get away,
Not if this young girl has anything to say.
This is a lovely story, told in rhyme
One that can be read and enjoyed time after time.
The kind of story that is great fun
With a lovely message for everyone.
So if you'd like a lovely bedtime read to share
Come chase the brontosaurus if you dare!
The delightful story is one that children will find fun
A brilliant bed time read when their day is done.
My thanks to Bloomsbury for my copy of this book
I highly recommend you give it a look
I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and am pleased to say
It's a five star review from me for it today!

Stop that Dinosaur! is a beautiful and funny read for children about a stegosaurus who runs off with a child's Grandmother.
This delightfully funny rhyming read will capture the hearts and imaginations of children everywhere and will become a new favourite across many children's bookshelves.
The illustrations are fun, bright and engaging.
The rhyming of the text will help and encourage children's vocabulary and memory and makes the book even more fun to read/listen to.

I loved the illustrations so much! Such bright colours!
I preferred if there writing font wasn't so hard to read tho, it was a bit tricky!

Excellent rhyming and a good story about not taking things that don't belong to you and asking to share instead.
