I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review. 

This was a cute little story about a group of kids spending an entire day playing with dinosaurs. They do a series of activities throughout their day, visiting the playground, playing fetch and catch, and also calming down with some fun dinosaur yoga. And at the end of the day, the dinosaurs are just gone. 

I think most children go through a dinosaur phase, so any book about dinosaurs is likely to be a big hit with them. And this was a fun read, so I wouldn't even mind reading it a few times before I'd want the kids to move on to a different book. The illustrations were bold and bight. 

Overall I give The Day I Had a Dinosaur 3.8947 out of 5 stars. - Katie
