Reviews

School Library Journal

“The illustrations are attractive and vivid, with a text layout that is intuitive to follow. . . . Kids will likely gravitate toward this series and appreciate a story about bullying and friendship that is different from traditional school tales.” —School Library Journal

Publishers Weekly

“Collaborators Bannister… and Grimaldi excel at spinning silly and sincere anecdotes in precise, almost sculptural contours that give the strips an inviting dimensionality.” —Publishers Weekly

Kirkus Reviews

“Bright colors, silly jokes about poop and slapstick antics make this a cute, quick read….A fluffy comic bonbon—what kid wouldn’t want a dinosaur as a best friend?” —Kirkus Reviews
