Young readers will have a ball with James Howe’s story of a dinosaur with a big dream. But Brontorina is rather large too large to fit in Madame Lucille’s dance studio. The frankly funny illustrations complement Howe’s understated text, resulting in a sweet, frothy story, complete with tutus and arabesques, for the little (and big) dreamer in everyone, lightheartedly demonstrating that the sky’s the limit, so think big!Ī humorous and inspiring tale… a satisfying story that adheres closely to its central message about overcoming obstacles.Ī delightful story that reminds us to chase our dreams and to help others chase theirs, even if modifications are required From the sure-footed duo of James Howe and Randy Cecil comes a hugely endearing new character in a humorous, heart-warming tale about holding on to your dreams. Brontorina makes a hugely sympathetic heroine. Brontorina does not have the right shoes, and everyone knows you cant dance without the proper. In Cecil’s arresting oil paintings, the tawny orange dinosaur stands out boldly against slate blue or white backgrounds, and the unusual texture of the paint creates a distinctive effect. speech balloons alternate with narration to tell the story in a fresh, droll manner. Text and illustrations work beautifully together in this witty fantasy. ![]()
