Quick Summary

Hugh Price's "The Dinosaur Chase" is a short, snappy adventure that will keep dinosaur-obsessed kids turning pages. The text is simple and repetitive, perfect for early readers who are still building confidence. There's a playful chase with big, goofy dinosaurs, but the tone stays lighthearted more comedic than truly scary. Parents will love the subtle message about quick thinking, and kids will enjoy the satisfaction of watching the little dinosaur outwit the big ones. If your child enjoyed the straightforward, adventure-filled feel of "The Little Red Hen" or other early-reader titles, they'll find this a fun, quick pick.
