Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Great Kids Book
I bought this book for my four and a half year old nephew and he absolutely loved it. I had to read it to him three times in a row. The illistrations are riveting and the comic book style really holds his attention. He loved it and also Captain Raptor and the Space Pirates, which I promptly bought him!


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Ka-Boom! Zap! A happy four year old!
This is currently my four year old's favorite, favorite book. The art is great & the storyline has kept him riveted for nearly a month now. If you enjoyed comics as a kid or even an adult, this book is a great way to introduce the format to your little one!


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Dinosaurs in space!
This is one of our favorite books! After checking it out multiple times from the library we decided this was one we just had to own. The illustrations are beautiful and detailed. The story holds up to many, many readings and is told with humour and just enough suspence to keep my boys (4 & 6) rivetted without being really scared. Our favorite parts are the cliffhanger pages that end with Captain Raptor in peril and the question "Is this the end of Captain Raptor?" My boys shout NO! as we turn the page to see his exciting escape from danger.


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Exciting but not scary
My 4 year old loves this book ever since his grandpa brought it home from the library. We have read it probably 100 times and he has the whole thing memorized! In this day and age when young children are exposed to way too much violence and fighting at a young age, this book provides an exciting adventure without that stuff....noone dies, even though there are "weapons" there is no violence, there is nothing too scary, and all the "dangerous" situations get resolved quickly. It's a witty book that is fun to read and has a great twist with the "aliens" being human. The two species are helpful and kind to each other. We love it. I sure hope Captain Raptor will have another adventure...the ending leaves the possibilities wide open! Well done!


Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - A little something for the parents
My 3 year old loves dinosaurs and space so this book seemed like a no brainer. However, I was very surprised to see such sophisticated comic book style artwork in a book for children. The writing was cool because it will remind parents of the original Star Trek and that only makes it more fun to mimic the Trek cast and dazzle your child with "your" ingenuity.
At very first I read the book in installments, every couple of pages has a cliffhanger like an episode of the live-action Batman series, so that we wouldn't be overwhelmed by the long story before naps. But he quickly caught on that the story would continue if he helped me turn the page. He immediately started requesting the story for almost every nap & bedtime placing this great book in his top 5.
Hope to see more from this author & artist!
