librarianryan 's review for:

The Day I Had a Dinosaur by Jennifer Rees
3.0
lighthearted medium-paced

 
This book is OK. Kids would check it out. The story is a tad bit long and full of puns. There’s this constant reframe that the T-Rex can’t do whatever everybody else does because of his short little arms. But they find a way to make it so they can participate. I don’t think this book aims to be about disability but it kind of is. And if it was aimed to be about having friends with disabilities, it only scratched the surface. This book was nice but it’s not a 20-year keeper.
