Ivy's Dinosaur Tea Party begins with Ivy waking up in a fabulous mood. Today, all her dinosaur friends are coming over for a tea party! Readers get a first glimpse at the party's invitees as Ivy prepares the yummy cookies and pies. Tina T-rex, Susan Stegosaurus, and Tammie Triceratops looked very adorable! I loved the artist's choice of color combinations for the three dinos. I also liked that the artist gave Susan glasses. Very cute! Tina looked stylish in her exercise accessories: a headband and matching wristbands! So retro!
When the dinos arrived at Ivy's house, they all flashed smiles; however, smiles quickly turned to frowns because Ivy didn't anticipate the dinos' dilemmas that would arise. How could T-rex reach for the food with their little arms? How could Tammie pick up the teacup when she had no hands to hold it? Readers won't witness Susan having trouble drinking or eating; instead, the stegosaurus problem surfaces during the dance portion of the party. As Ivy addresses Susan's sadness over their slipping glasses, the other dinosaurs mention the hardships they face. Being a good friend and kind person, Ivy reassures her chums that they are all perfect just the way they are. And when Ivy mentions she's extremely shy and is often afraid to speak higher than a whisper, Tina is right by her side, parroting the words Ivy said to them moments ago.
Insecurities can grow in children and adults. They can affect our daily lives and dampen our spirits. So when you are feeling blue, please remember the writer's beautiful message and smile: we are all special in our own way.
My recommended reading age is one to seven years.

I've been constructing reviews for over a decade and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Most of the reviews will be featured on my blog (Kam's Place), Pinterest, Instagram, BlueSky, and Goodreads. Don't forget to tip your waitress! :D

About the author
I’m a later in life author that took inspiration from my granddaughter to write my first book. It’s something I always dreamed of doing, but thought I’d write an adult novel. After a few unsuccessful attempts I found my true calling with children’s picture book. view profile
