I guess this is the new wave of kids books, interactive, but I am not much of a kids book reader myself. If I had kids, at a young age, this would be just the ticket.

I personally love this little book, and think it's perfect for kids. I gave this as a gift for a 3 year-old at his birthday party. It was the only book in the mountain of toys. People were laughing, maybe at the title of the book, or at the fact that someone bought a child a book...I don't know. It makes me sad. BUY MORE BOOKS!

A picture book that kids and adults can enjoy.  I think adults might actually enjoy it more.  If kids do not know the nursery rhymes well then it may not make complete sense but for those who know their nursery rhymes, it is a very humorous and clever book.  Highly recommend this picture book for kindergarten and up.

The illustrations are great. The theme a little iffy for me, but I think children will like it..

One of the elements of this book that sticks with me the most when I talk to high schoolers in my library is this:  we give kids books written by adults for adults and expect them to like reading.

I thought it was for adults; I was mistaken, as it is for children.  Great CHILDREN"S book!

I thought this was a very good idea for parents to do to encourage their kid(s) to read this summer and plus. This had some beautiful pictures in it I would think that it would impress them as well as help them to grow smarter and wiser. So, I want. to recommend this for. kids 5-8 & over perhaps. I received this rebook for free and in return, here is my honest review. Super job D.L.! By Angela

I enjoy reading kid books and I didn't want to put this one down.  It's a nice story for most kids because it's not too scary.

There are probably kids this book would be ok for. If your kid never questions things or never has any worries or concerns then this is maybe ok.

The book is serious, talking not just about death but the myriad ways you can die. Murder, war, poverty, drug abuse, and suicide are just some of the thtings it touches on.

Separately it also dives into religious aspects that we were not expecting from a book supposedly about dinosaurs dying.

I picked this book up at the Bookfair thinking it would be something my kids would like, and of course that means that I am going to read it before I pass it on to them. I like to know what they are reading and to be able to discuss it with them.

The Roar takes place on Earth in a future time when all the people on Earth live on 1/3rd of the planet behind a huge wall because of something called the Animal Plague. The world is all concrete and buildings and depressing really, and this is just the way it has to be, or so they think.

Ellie, Mika's twin sister disappears one night, and the family is told she died, while being her twin Mika refuses to believe that. We follow Mika as he tries to carry on, and we learn that he is right, Ellie is alive, but life isn't any more fun for her.

It's a young adult, teen book in that the main characters are 12 to 13 year olds. They are dealing with issues of life that are probably older than they should be dealing with, but they have grown up in a strange world. It is well written for that age group, and I definitely think anywhere from the 8 to 15 age range can read this and enjoy it.

As a parent reading it, I was able to understand it, I also was able to remember my childhood and the distrust of adults that lead to some of the issues that we see in the book, but I think everyone has done that at some point in life, and I think it makes the book real and believable. I got the story and understood it.

It has a message beyond the story about life and character and what we do with what we have, morals and values and friendships. And I thought it was kind of a bummer of an ending until I got on to do the review and found there is a second book. I think it is well worth letting your child read.

I have already passed it on to my kids.

This is really a kids' book - could be read in less than 5 minutes, which I didn't realize before it arrived.  But the lesson is good for adults and kids.

I think kids over about seven would really enjoy reading or having this book read to them.  Kids love to believe they are very capable of doing adult things.  In this book the young people are clever and fortunately able to get themselves out of trouble.  The only negative thing was that it was a little short.

It's interesting to read children's book from a grown ups perspective. The meaning that I'd not got if I were a child is now clear. It's good to teach your kid that they can make any changes and how to do so. Well.... A lot about politics though. It maybe interesting what books teach to children in different cultures. In this book, I see the value of politics. :)

I'd like to call this children's book 'a concept book'. The author uses only few words, quantity words like 'nothing','few','several', 'lots', 'plenty', 'enough', 'less' to tell the whole story. The best is a massage to reader, having a lot stuff will not make you happy, but having nice friendship will.

This book is easy enough to read with 2 years old kids but also mature to read with 6 year old kids,too. However, reading with big children, I have to add more words by myself. Not the big problem.
