A humorous, rhyming dinosaur tale about determination and learning that having fun isn’t always about being the best.

Diplodocus Dinah is great at everything! She is an excellent speller; she plays piano; she paints masterpieces; and she knits. There's nothing she can't do and no competition she can't win. But when the Surfing Contest comes to Dino Town, Dinah discovers that surfing is something she just can’t do! For the first time ever, Dinah doesn’t win a competition. Will she be devastated? Or will she decide that there’s more to having fun than winning? A fun, humorous story about perseverance, and learning that you might not always be the best.

So-so book with political artwork
1 Star
So-so book with political artwork
The book itself is so-so. There are much better out there about perseverance and handling failure. The dino theme is cute, although the artwork is so busy that it is hard for a child to follow the story. My 4-year-old was totally lost. What I really did not appreciate were the pride flags in the background. They don't have any relationship with the story. They appear to simply be in the book to create positive associations between kids and the pride flag. Regardless of your views on this issue, it seems pretty sneaky to have politically charged images tucked away in a children's book for the purpose of exposure. Glad I borrowed this at the library and did not purchase it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Lesson about dealing with failure
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2023
Everything is easy for Dinah, until one fateful day in a competition when things don't happen as she expects. There is disappointment (and disbelief) followed by perseverance and good sportsmanship. This is a great lesson for young kids that you won't always succeed but you can take the high road and deal with failure in a positive way.
