All fans of Julia Donaldson's should read the enchanting tale of The Dinosaur's Diary.

Surviving and finding a safe place to lay her eggs is difficult for Hypsilophodon with dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus Rex around. When she falls into a mysterious pool and finds herself on a modern farm there are still problems. Finally she finds a safe place to hatch her babies, but how can she keep thirteen baby dinosaurs safe and secret? When the farmer catches one - Hector - and plans to take him to the vet, it's up to Hypsilophodon and her fiesty daughter, Henrietta, to get him back. After a daring rescue, Hypsilophodon takes all her youngsters back through the mysterious pool to her own world.

Great book but these are the inaccuracy’s ( written by a 9 year old)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 May 2020

Verified Purchase

Great book recommend it but there are a few inaccuracy’s
.Hipsolophodon lives in the Early Cretaceous. T rex is from the late Cretaceous and has feathers. Megalosaurus is from Jurassic england. Dinosaurs can’t write diary’s obviously.
.The Hipsolophodon was not the only dinosaur there birds are avian dinosaurs the only dinosaurs that went extinct were non avian dinosaurs
.dinosaurs hands were not facing down that would break bones so they were facing each other

Great book for early free reader

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 May 2020

I bought this for my 6yr old son who was reading the banded school books up to 40 or so pages very well but needed something to help with the transition to free reader as he also has ASD and struggles with imagining or following a long story line. This was perfect being written like a diary, each chapter represented a new day for the Dinosaur and the story was quite simple so it kept him engaged while being a longer book but broken into manageable chunks - and also a few pictures doted through which kept him engaged. Would definitely recommend as a first free reader book for any child around 6-8.

A great book for 7-9 year olds

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 March 2019

My son has recently read this book to me, as it appeared on a recommended reading list for Year 3 kids.
It’s a nice story about a dinosaur trying to find a place to lay her eggs (after having her first batch eaten by predators.) She somehow slips through time and ends up on a farm in the modern day.
This was a short and relatively easy read with a good engaging story and characters with plenty of heart.
Recommended.

Lovely book

I got this for my 6 year old who read the story during home learning classes and I wanted to hear the ending lol .
It's a cute book written like a diary by a dinosaur. The dinosaur is trying to find a place to lay her eggs. Each chapter is a new day and a new adventure and character. It's really manageable book and really engaging with pic spotted throughout. I am sure her younger sister will enjoy this too aswell as her asd brother .

Not what I expected

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 April 2022

Bought this as a gift as my nephew is dinosaur mad and is not yet 5. Expected the usual Julia Donaldson book this is small with no colourful pictures just black and white. So it didn't get the usual reaction. We have all Julia Donaldsons book and they are firm favourites due to the lovely colourful drawings that accompany the stories.
