Have You Seen My Invisible Dinosaur? by Helen Yoon is a wonderfully illustrated story about a young boy who gives his dinosaur a bath and then can’t find him afterward. The use of crayon illustrations and negative space is a clever way to show where the dinosaur might be, without giving it away entirely. The premise did seem to promise more seeking out of the dinosaur as the reader, and perhaps this book would’ve benefited from a few more pages and for the reader to actively seek out the missing dinosaur. Overall a lovely addition to any collection.
