Synopsis

This colorful and reassuring picture book follows Babysaurus on an adventure as he enlists his prehistoric friends to seek his Mamasaurus. Is his Mamasaurus the fastest in the jungle? No. Is she the loudest? No. Is she the best flyer? No! Of course, Mamasaurus has been right there all along. And when Babysaurus needs a little help, she is ready with a big hug and a sweet, leafy snack. For Babysaurus, his Mamasaurus is the best mamasaurus in the world! Stephan Lomp has illustrated several books in his native Germany, and in this debut as both author and artist, he has created a fresh twist on a perennial theme that will win the hearts of little ones and their mamas as they snuggle up to read a new favorite.

Reviews

PopPreS-Gr 1—In this sweet story, Babysaurus slides down his mother's back and falls into a bush. Once he is able to find his way out, he realizes that Mamasaurus has disappeared. As he roams through the jungle, he meets dinosaurs of various colors and sizes, such as Triopa, Ptero, Hespero, and scary Rexy. Finally, baby is reunited with his mama. Children will delight in meeting the various dinosaurs, some of which they may not be familiar with. Illustrations are executed in brushed pan and Photoshop. Dinosaurs are engaging and drawn in vibrant colors shaded with a darker color and outlined in black. This makes them visually appealing and allows them to pop on the page. VERDICT Dinosaur fans will roar over this one.—Megan McGinnis, Sachem Public Library, Holbrook, NY
