The Dinosaur's Diary is a story written from the point of view of a dinosaur called Hypsilophodon, who writes this story as a day to day diary. She has to struggle with keeping her eggs safe from predators. As this seems to be an impossible task due to the habitat she is in, she finds herself falling into a pool whilst being chased by a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The pool magically brings her into another world (modern day earth). The dinosaur nest was in fact part of a Year 2 cross-curricular approach to teaching about dinosaurs, supporting science, art, history and English. In all cases, immersive learning values the expertise of children. With The Lost Lending Library it is the children who restore the books and stories to the shelves.La historia bien narrada y entretenida; solo me molestó un poco que la autora fuera tan cuidadosa en aclarar que la protagonista no conocía los objetos "hechos por humanos", pero de repente se le pasan algunos y, espontáneamente, no hay necesidad de aclarar qué es qué (por ejemplo, en el tractor). Lo que yo esperaba era que Henrietta le explicara qué era qué, pero ella tampoco tenía mucho cómo conocer los nombres (dejando de lado que haya aprendido a echarlo a andar). Located behind a bookcase which had mysteriously replaced the door to our staff room, small groups of children discovered that it led into a fantastical library crammed with books of all sizes and colours. I also liked the relationships she had with the other characters, such as the swallows and her babies. I think children would really enjoy reading this book as well, which I would say is aimed at younger children. When Rabbit's friends Cat, Bear and Elephant come to help they are each scared away in turn by the mysterious voice.
The Dinosaur’s Diary - Julia Donaldson
They become more enthusiastic learners, and it encourages greater participation and breaks down social barriers. The Dinosaur’s Diary is about one of these small creatures, who lives in perpetual terror of T Rex and the like. Even now the project is complete, it has continued to have a positive impact on the children’s general engagement and communication.
I think the age range would be from 7-9 year olds although early years could enjoy to this through class reading sessions.

For my seven year daughter, who loves dinosaurs and all things cute, it was a five star book, as its full of dinosaurs and especially full of cute baby dinosaurs. She found it funny and fun to read and really liked the diary format. It was pitched just right for her to both read aloud to me and to read to herself. I really enjoy writing verse, even though it can be fiendishly difficult. I used to memorise poems as a child and it means a lot to me when parents tell me their child can recite one of my books. It could be read to a whole class as it’s easy to follow and there are some nice illustrations you could show the class as well. It could also be used in 1-2-1 reading to help children’s development with their reading skills. I really liked the nervous central character of Hypsilophodon. Not what you’d immediately expect a dinosaur to be like! But the story really conveyed the emotion of Hypsilophodon and her fight to look after her babies and survive herself.Immersive learning connects well with the creativity that so many primary teachers bring to their job, but it does require planning; dinosaurs don’t just appear in playgrounds!
