This was a cute book about a simple toy that my children still love, magic grow toys. A sweet message about friendship and a cute punch line at the end that my children loved.
A boy's dinosaur toy grows to be too big for his house, but eventually saves the day in his enormous size. Might be perplexing if kids aren't familiar with the kind of toys that "grow" when you soak them in water. Would also work for discussing wet vs. dry!
A little boy gets a dinosaur that grows when it drinks water. The dino gets really big.Simple. And very cute.
this is the freaking cutest book. a must for my collection! I want my own Dino-Gro <3
The illustrations in this book are adorable from the first page showing a little boy on the floor of his messy bedroom. I had fun seeing some of the same images repeated throughout like the snake in the window on page 1 hiding in the mattress on another page then under the bed later on. Cole is a very messy boy and his toy dinosaur is the same. They both like to play inside and leave their snacks and juice discarded on the floor or outside and trail mud behind them. They have a lot of fun togeth...
Matt Myers pens a wonderful tale that is sure to grow in the hearts of readers for years to come. Cole is disappointed in the size of his new toy, but then it seems as if the tiny little dinosaur will never stop growing, and that becomes a big problem—until everyone realizes that Dino-Gro is wonderful just as he is. Myers writes a story that is the perfect combination of humorous and heartwarming. Readers will identify with Cole and will be immersed in the plot as it progresses. This wonderful p...
Hunter has a few little dinosaurs that grow in water… but they don’t get that big! He loved the story and watching the Dino get bigger and bigger over time. I liked the illustration style, the pictures are very pretty to look at.
Cole just got a new dinosaur, but he's so very small! His mom comforts him, saying to give it time because he'll grow. You remember those toys that you put in water and they grew...same concept here, only much MUCH bigger! Once Cole starts getting his new little blue friend wet, he creates a monster, or at least a rather BIG problem! It seems Dino-Gro can't get enough of growing bigger and BIGGER, so if there's water, he's bound to find it, and OOPS! There he grows again, until one day, he's too...
Thank you so much to Turn the Page Tours and Random House for the copy of this book in exchange for a review and tour stop. I was so excited to be chosen for this tour as a former children's bookseller and a future teacher. This book was absolutely adorable! I read this book to my 7 year old twin boys and not only did they ooh and aah over the every growing dinosaur but they were laughing out loud. This is a great addition to any picture book shelf and classroom with a great message about growin...
Humorous look at a toy dinosaur who grows every time it gets wet. Readers will connect with this and enjoy watching the dinosaur's antics. They may note mom's growing pregnancy as it grows too. Terrific to talk about healthy growth and body care. Love the ending when the dinosaur tries to make the baby sister grow too.
Fun adventure for anyone who had one of those toys that expanded in water. Best page: dino in the fish tank.Read for Librarian Book Group
Like a modern Fish Out of Water.
Clifford meet Dino-Gro!
This book should come with one of those little toys.
Adorable picture book following a boy and his absorbable toy Dino who comes to life and grows whenever he gets wet. In the background of the story his mom is pregnant and her belly grows along with Dino until the tiny new baby comes along at the end.
Wet? Cole gets a new toy that grows when it gets wet! What happens when his little dino toy gets too big?!
Dino-Gro is a toy that grows when wet.
Dino-Gro gets too big, but then he saves Cole and he can stay.
Very fun! Dino-Gro is a good friend for Clifford.
