review 1: Brontorina is about a dinosaur that dreams of becoming a ballerina, when she begins taking ballet at Madame Lucille’s Dance Academy she unfortunately finds that her size is getting in her way, and everyone else’s as well. The characters are drawn amusingly with various shaped faces and cockeyed eyes, and the illustrations done in oil are intricate and unique with the fine brush strokes made visible. Brontorina is depicted as a sweet-natured, oversized dinosaur that readers cannot help but love, and the ending will make everyone smile. The story of Brontorina is sweet, cute, and humorous and proves that it’s not what’s on the outside that truly matters but what’s in your heart.
