School Library Journal - 12/06/2024 Gr 6 Up—In the world of Dinosaur Sanctuary, dinosaurs were discovered on an island and can now be seen at zoos and aquariums. No longer a novelty, Enoshima Dinoland is just one struggling zoo that does its best to keep up with the demands of these magnificent creatures. In this volume, Suzume is faced with her first winter working at Dinoland, and with the shift in weather comes changes in diets, energy, and other seasonal considerations for the dinosaurs. When a Velociraptor escapes and wanders into the surrounding area, Suzume and Kaidou are sent to help capture it before any harm or damage is done. This offers a unique perspective as to how dinosaurs might interact with a modern world, beyond what the series has previously offered. But what truly sets the "Dinosaur Sanctuary" series apart is the stellar research offered by Fujiwara, the research consultant. His detailed notes continue to provide a wealth of facts that inform the narrative, while Kinoshita's skillful storytelling and illustrations bring this alternate reality to life. VERDICT The perfect blend of education and entertainment, this series, particularly this volume, is highly recommended.—Lisa Rowland - Copyright 2024 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
