![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Verdict: With its themes of first day of school jitters, adapting to change, dinosaurs, immigration, and bilingualism-it's a book for every classroom and home library. DINOSAURIOS!Ĭhildren new to English or Spanish will enjoy the bilingual text and learning dinosaur terms in both languages. Ríos Ramírez puts readers squarely in the POV of Santiago so that we feel his isolation, but beneath it, glimpse a confident little boy ready to make friends-if only he can find a way to connect that transcends language. I love how the story serves as a mirror for children who've had experiences like Santiago's, and also a bridge (to empathy and inclusion) for those who haven't. Many children, families, and educators will see their experiences reflected in its sweetly illustrated pages.
