"Adopting a Dinosaur" is a thoroughly charming humorous, and original tale about imagination, fantastical pets, and parents who get themselves in trouble. - Midwest Book Review
The writing is snappy, especially when the dialogue is rendered in large hand-drawn letters ("WOAH, WOAH, WOOAAAHHH THAT'S A DINOSAUR!"), and the art throughout is consistently delightful. Kimo, of course, turns out to be the most adorable-est, cuddliest dino, and when he's covered with licks by his adoring saltasaurus family while a child on a ladder pats one of the parents...let's just say no reader will be able to resist. A Spanish-language edition, Adoptar un dinosaurio, proves just as charming. Humorous without a trace of snark, this Spanish import hatches just right. - Kirkus Reviews
Families will enjoy reading all the animal names and making all the animal sounds. The illustrations are whimsical and full of fresh, light-filled colors. - Youth Services Book Review
What I really liked about this book is that it is so relatable. If there are any parents that have had a child that has begged and pleaded for a pet, this would be their book. - Youth Services Book Review
Its entertaining artwork and feel-good family vibes will surprise and delight audiences as baby saltasaurus makes himself at home in the suburbs. - Foreword Reviews
