Bringing Up Baby Dragons

Bringing Up Baby Dragons by Dugald A. Steer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It told us a lot about dragon care. There were different types of eggs we could do and different types of breeds. Dr Drake, the author, has got a dragon named Torcher. I'm going to make a knuckler dragon (the knuckler is the dragon with the long neck). I think Kerry would love the knuckler because it's so cutey. I saw a dragon who laid such a cool egg. It was called the lung dragon. It had a ball shaped egg that went in water.

Chasing the Tunnelling Trickster

Chasing the Tunnelling Trickster: Dinosaur Cove 13 by Rex Stone

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really liked this because it is about dinosaurs, which are my favourite animals besides dragons. The tunnelling trickster was a lystrosaurus and it has powerful claws that can dig a tunnel. The tunnelling trickster took Jamie's rucksack to use it as a bed! Ha ha ha! The tunnelling trickster also ate sume of the pickle sandwiches. Funny! Do you think pickle sandwiches would taste nice? I wouldn't think that would be nice!

Jamie and Tom use an ammonite to get to different places, but first they have to go in the sandbox and dig up the ammonites and they have to look for the right one for where they want to go by looking at the big glass case that has got ammonites in it that are labelled. There are: Permian, Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous.

The Maze of the Beast

The Maze of the Beast by Emily Rodda

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It was amazing because the companions: Lief, Barda and Jasmine survived such a ginormous beast called the Glus. They found the amethyst in a rock where the Glus had crept by and near where they had slept. My favourite bit was when the amethyst was found.

Brilliant Billy's Big Book of Dinosaurs

Brilliant Billy's Big Book of Dinosaurs by Simon Hutton

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I liked it because Billy and his dad went to the museum and tried to find the Thesaurus. David in Billy's class, (not Dim David) got the dinosaur book that Billy wanted to get for his Mum.
