How to Catch a Loveosaurus
Kirkus Reviews

An elusive new quarry leads the How To Catch⦠kids on a merry chase through a natural history museum. Taking at least a step away from the "hunters versus prey" vibe of previous entries in the popular series, the racially diverse group of young visitors dashes through various museum halls in pursuit of the eponymous dino--whose quest to "spread kindness and joy 'round the world" takes the form of a mildly tumultuous museum tour. In most of Elkerton's overly sweet, color-saturated scenes, only portions of the Loveosaurus, who is purple and covered with pink hearts, are visible behind exhibits or lumbering off the page. But the children find small enticements left behind, from craft supplies to make cards for endangered species to pictures of smiley faces, candy heart--style personal notes ("You Rock!" "Give Hugs"), and, in the hall of medieval arms and armor, a sign urging them to "Be Honest Be Kind." The somewhat heavy-handed lesson comes through loud and clear. "There's a message, he wants us to think," hints Walstead to clue in more obtuse readersâ¦and concluding scenes of smiling people young and otherwise exchanging hugs and knuckle bumps, holding doors for a wheelchair rider, and dancing through clouds of sparkles indicate that they, at least, have gotten it. (This book was reviewed digitally.) Sugary uplift, shrink-wrapped for the masses. (Picture book. 5-7) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
