I have several children in my class who are currently reading at copper level so I'm always on the look out for more. I loved the graphic novel style of this book as the bright colours and short bursts of text are ideal for more reluctant readers. The combination of bmx bikes and dinosaurs really appealed to my group of boys and it feels like there could be further adventures for the time-travelling machine.
I'll definitely be adding this to my purchase list.
I read this book with my 5-year-old daughter (very soon to be 6) and she really enjoyed it. She particularly loved the fact it had dinosaurs in it!
She is currently reading at this level as she has been moved ahead at school and reads with the children in Year 2 to encourage her development and is on the level 12 books so this fit in really nicely to that and we have added it to her reading diary.
The book showed me as her mum exactly why this was right for her as she fully embraced this story, she wanted to read it and wanted to carry on too after she had started. She is a really keen reader, loves to learn and would much rather escape with a story where her imagination can run away than watching TV - she really enjoyed the whole story and the next morning was telling her grandparents all about it on the way to school so it was defiantly a hit!
She loved that the sentences and chapters were longer and she was able to read a proper story. We normally have a few shorter stories at night so it was brilliant that we had a longer one this time.
It is 5 stars from us for this book – very highly recommended – it was a fun read!
