From Publishers Weekly "A bewitching blend of fantasy and realism highlights this clever rhyming tale of a girl whose imagination is sparked by a visit to the Museum of Natural History," wrote PW in a starred review. "The slightly dreamy visual style gives credence to the delicious possibility that maybe there really are dinosaurs among us." Ages 6-10. (Sept.) Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From School Library Journal K-Gr 2—Some things are timeless—take a child's fascination with dinosaurs. Since Waterhouse Hawkins first introduced the world to dinosaurs through his lifelike models, many of us have fantasized about what it would be like to be in the presence of prehistoric creatures. In this reissue of I Met A Dinosaur, a young girl's visit to see the dinosaur skeletons at the Natural History Museum has a powerful effect on her imagination. Soon, she is seeing benevolent dinosaurs everywhere in her life—a Stegosaurus wrapped around a gas station, an Iguanadon standing far out in a rainy lake, and a Tyrannosaurus Rex waving to her from behind a tree. Sheban's textured illustrations have a beautiful interplay between light and shadow that suggest an altered world where impossible events could occur. Some of the drawings even provide visual links between everyday objects (the shape of a gas station sign) and the details of a dinosaur (the plates on a Stegosaurus) that show how a child's imagination is stimulated. The final illustration has a wonderful visual symmetry plus a subtle reference to Vermeer's luminous scenes of domestic Dutch life. The simple rhyming text pairs well with the images and highlights the girl's ability to see dinosaurs, even though her parents continue to chide her gently about her overactive imagination. The final page provides some facts about each of the dinosaurs. VERDICT A great read-aloud for parents or teachers that shows the power of a child's imagination and the enduring appeal of dinosaurs.—Sally James, South Hillsborough Elementary School, Hillsborough, CA
From Kirkus Reviews A young girl's visit to the natural-history museum is intended to be an invitation to imagining dinosaurs everywhere-- in the park, at the gas station, behind the shed, on the lake. What begins with intrigue and the promise of adventure rapidly bogs down in humdrum poetry panels paired with mismatched illustrations. The musings in the girl's mind do not always translate visually into specific types of dinosaurs. For example, it's hard to see how two electric towers become a triceratops or how a moose could be mistaken for a brontosaurus (now known as Apatosaurus). The illustrations stand alone, enticing and atmospheric on their own, but too often fail to bring readers into a visual understanding of the metamorphosis mentioned in the abstract text. Exceptions to this are the scales of a stegosaurus that form the sign for the gas station and the lumbering shape of a diplodocus that mimics treetops and rooftops in the fog. A good-looking design includes a clean layout and thoughtful composition, but the book in general does not sustain the creativity evidenced in its first and final panels.

It's the kind of book you want to give to all the kids you know, and have lying on your coffee table. The text and the art work really well together to tell a clever story about how imagination can enrich our life. You'll love it.

My son has it memorized. As an adult, I like the interplay between the child and her parents (she's imagining dinosaurs everywhere, and they keep telling her what real-life things she's seeing or hearing).
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful By k2a7t This book has amazing illustrations and a wonderful story that my boys can absolutely relate to. I also love that the main character is a girl. It was also the catalyst for us to go the museam of natural history in NY. Great day!
