They've played together, rode bikes and gorged themselves on cupcakes, but what else
is there for Sophie and her loveable dino pal to do? Would you believe playing dress up? Solving
a mysterious banana shortage? Building a rocketship in their backyard? An encounter with space
monkeys?!? You'd better believe it, sisters and misters!
Now this won't give your child any helpful lessons to start a career in a STEM field but it does do something that's also very important and encourages their imagination. It's also charming and as stated before doesn't have anything that would be deemed offensive. So feel safe in picking this one up and read it with your kid. Read Full Review
I think what I enjoyed most about Bob Frantz's writing here is that the friendship isn't perfect. Monty takes offence easily, and Sophie forgets too easily what pushes her dinosaur buddy's buttons. Frantz uses some tried and true premises here, classic kids' comics fare, so there's not much in the way of novelty for the grown-up crowd, but it does hit some fun nostalgic notes. What hinders this book somewhat is the price tag. Four bucks is a lot to ask of a comic that reads so quickly. That's not a criticism of the craft at play here, though, but more a sad reality of publishing in the 21st century. Read Full Review
I think that it's safe to say that Action Lab has found a kid-friendly title that can easily appeal to little ones from all walks of life. Who knows?!? Maybe Monty will take off and be the next Barney. Every generation needs a lovable dinosaur right? Good luck Monty. Read Full Review
