Reviews
“This tale is perfect to introduce any young mind to science, dinosaurs, and adventure. The story flows nicely and each page is illustrated with hand-painted watercolor and ink by the author. We hope this first book from Rodenberg is not her last!” – Portland Book Review
“What I Loved: The storyline reminded me a bit of “Are You My Mother?” which is a staple around this house. Only in this story, the eggs don’t realize their mother is missing, and it is up to a friendly Brontosaurus to save the day. I love that the bronto takes responsibility for the problem, and then takes action when necessary. I also love the illustrations. They’re beautiful and accessible to pre-schoolers while still being enjoyable for adults. I also loved that the author took little opportunities to give facts about brontosauruses and volcanoes in a way that didn’t detract from the story.” - YA Book Central
“Rodenberg’s impressive watercolor and ink illustrations animate earth’s lush and rapidly evolving landscape with vibrancy and color. Bronto and the Pterodactyl Eggs is sweet story that shows the importance of helping the weakest ones through a dangerous and changing world.
