Description
Dinosaur Pie by Jen Wallace, illustrated by Alex O’Rourke is about a kid named Rory. When he eats some dinosaur pie from the supermarket, he turns into a dinosaur. Becoming a dinosaur is hard! Rory is awkward, small, can’t play video games, or use a toilet! He can see better, but can’t stay away from sausages. Through the book Rory is trying to find a way to get back with his friends and transform back into a human.
This book has laughs, excitement, and of course, a lot of dinos. It’s very entertaining, easy reading book, probably best for younger readers, like six+, or kids who like dinos.
One cool thing about the book was that Rory has ADHD. As a kid with ADHD, Rory felt realistic to me. He gets a glitch when he’s overwhelmed, just like I do. I don’t see very many characters with ADHD, so it was pretty cool to read about Rory having it.
P.S. if you ever do find yourself turned into a dino, this book contains a useful method for transforming back.
