This colorful and reassuring picture book follows Babysaurus on an adventure as he enlists his prehistoric friends to seek his Mamasaurus. Is his Mamasaurus the fastest in the jungle? No. Is she the loudest? No. Is she the best flyer? No! Of course, Mamasaurus has been right there all along. And when Babysaurus needs a little help, she is ready with a big hug and a sweet, leafy snack. For Babysaurus, his Mamasaurus is the best mamasaurus in the world! Stephan Lomp has illustrated several books in his native Germany, and in this debut as both author and artist, he has created a fresh twist on a perennial theme that will win the hearts of little ones and their mamas as they snuggle up to read a new favorite.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PopPreS-Gr 1—In this sweet story, Babysaurus slides down his mother's back and falls into a bush. Once he is able to find his way out, he realizes that Mamasaurus has disappeared. As he roams through the jungle, he meets dinosaurs of various colors and sizes, such as Triopa, Ptero, Hespero, and scary Rexy. Finally, baby is reunited with his mama. Children will delight in meeting the various dinosaurs, some of which they may not be familiar with. Illustrations are executed in brushed pan and Photoshop. Dinosaurs are engaging and drawn in vibrant colors shaded with a darker color and outlined in black. This makes them visually appealing and allows them to pop on the page. VERDICT Dinosaur fans will roar over this one.—Megan McGinnis, Sachem Public Library, Holbrook, NY

Mamasaurus is basically the same story as Papasaurus. The art is beautifully done, but the story is lacking. Disappointing.

my son (who is almost 3) loves dinosaurs, so when i came across this in the bookstore (for almost double the price!) i knew I needed to get it for him. He LOVES it, and I do too! It's very innocent & adorable, and I always enjoy reading this to him before bedtime.

He loved listening to mom and dad read this book since he was just 4 months old. I have the physical and digital versions. Just in case I need it while in the go ;)

My only wish is that this was available in board book format! My 12 month old adores this book. We have a large variety of books but this is one of three (the other two being 'calm down boris' and 'dear zoo') that we have to read and reread several times a day. He will point to it with his pudgy little hand and insistently grunt until I pull it out of the bookshelf and open it up. The unconventional black background and the simplicity of the colourful artwork make the illustrations pop. It has a great storyline, explaining diversity and difference in a subtle manner through a much loved subject like dinosaurs. This book is a winner as there are only a few words on each page. My one year old is so excited to turn the page to get to the next eye catching image that you dont have time to read long sentences or paragraphs. I must admit I purchased this item as I love dinosaurs, but it has been such an unexpected hit with my child that I would highly recommend it to non-dinosaur fanatics too. The touching tale of the adoration a little dino has for his mama is also enough to melt any parents heart. A win on all levels.
