It’s easy and fun to learn to draw, especially when there’s a story to read and lots of stickers. In Watch Me Read and Draw: Dinosaurs, kids will read about Pete the pterodactyl who discovers an egg and sets out to find its parent. Throughout the story, readers will learn to draw 11 prehistoric pals, step by step, including dinosaurs that roamed the land, air, and sea. Included are drawing instructions for a Pterodactyl, Apatosaurus, Compsognathus, Sauroposeidon, Ankylosaurus, Ornithomimus, Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus rex, Diplodocus, Mamenchisaurus, and Triceratops!
Each page features easy-to-follow instructions so young artists can draw all of the dinosaurs from the story, one step at a time. Basic shapes that kids will recognize make it easy to follow along and learn how to draw. The flip-out drawing pad also offers drawing prompts and simple shapes for a jump-start, making it enjoyable and fun to draw favorite dinosaurs. Plus, there’s a whole bunch of colorful stickers inside to reward them as they complete the story along the way, and a prehistoric scene at the end to make their very own! It’s the perfect starter drawing book for kids who love to read and draw.

I thought this was a great activity book for young children. It has a cute and simple story with easy to follow instructions for drawing several different dinosaurs. For any young child fascinated with dinosaurs, this could be a fun art book.

I really liked the book, there was plenty to engage children and keep them entertained
The book gives help in drawing dinosaurs and there are also fun pages to get children to join in and make their own scenes and best of all, stickers!
Five stars - plenty to keep little ones busy and perfect for any dinosaur fans out there!

A little story, stickers and drawing tips. This book has everything to be good but unfortunately fail. First of all the story is very light, not necessarily a problem by itself, but not strength either. Second, the stickers, well, every page has a place where you have to put the proper sticker on the right drawing... Nothing much... And finally, the drawing tips and steps by step method are interesting but I’m not totally sure that the drawing element fit the age for being interest and targeted by the story. I think that to be able to draw what it presented, you should be a bit older then what the story has to propose. Finally, it’s way too much repetitive. Every page has a bit of the story, a sticker to place and drawing tips, and so on.

What a fantastic book for a budding 5 year old artist! My son LOVES dinosaurs and loves to draw. This book is absolutely a hit for him. (And I no longer have to muddle through trying to draw one myself!)

This book is a very creative way to get children to interact with what they are reading so that they can become more involved with the story. Each section of the story gives step-by-step instructions on how to draw one thing per page, so that children have to pause and think about what they are drawing and how it relates to what they've just read. Awesome idea!

This review isn't going to be long. I'm not a huge fan of a review rehashing the entire plot and spoiling it for everyone.
This is the first book by Samantha Chagollan & Mattia Cerato that we have read. We enjoyed it. My little ones liked the story. They loved the stickers and enjoyed trying to copy the drawings. I will purchase more of her books.
I received an ARC of this book to read through NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.
