A hit, a palpable hit!
This is the book to buy for little kids of all ages. The story is so sweet, the words so engaging, the illustrations and the colors so vivid and soothing at the same time. I'm delivering yet another copy to the smartest three-year-old I know in just a little while, and I can already imagine Nick holding this book and reading it to one of his kids. It's a classic, it's a work of art, it's a very wonderful teaching tool, but, best of all, it's got heart, and what more can you hope to show kids? Take a bow, Kel.

From the Denver Post
"I Bought a Baby Chicken" is a cute story and a subtle counting book. During a family trip to the general store, the narrator sees a little chick and decides to buy it. Her sister picks up two black chicks, her dad likes three striped ones, and before you know it, the whole family - cousins, grandparents, great-grandparents - has gone cuckoo for chickens. "I guess my family's lucky that I didn't want a cow," concludes the narrator, who'd better hope her family doesn't suddenly develop a hankering for friend chicken or buffalo wings. Karen Stormer Brooks' google-eyed illustrations are as silly as the story. (by Claire Martin).

Clever and Good Humored Kelly
This little counting book in charming verse by Kelly Milner Halls is exactly the sort of thing to brighten up a child's day or your own. Kelly gives the little story gentle excitement which will stimulate a child and charm an adult. It is the kind of little morsel I would want to grace a coffee table forever. I also thought the illustrations unusual and darling.

Many will ask just what can one do with a counting book, but Kelly has managed to do something new while staying within comfortable and familiar bounds.

Good book
My name is Scott but my dad calls me Scottie. My dad got me this book because I like to play outside. We would read the book and play the games outside. I like the pictures in it too. I can read but not all the words. Thank you for a good book.

A great children's author and teacher....
Kelly loves children, Kelly knows writing, and it shows in her latest work. The craft ideas featured here are creative, and the wording of the book will appeal to younger children. It'd be a good idea to jump on this book now, as I genuinely believe Kelly Milner Halls is going to end up being nationally recognized as one of the most gifted children's authors around.

Information old and inaccurate
If this was an updated version of the book perhaps it would hold value. In ...[this time period] it is mostly frustration. My son and I spent hours writing to the various museums and organizations and even catalog recommendations in the book to get further information and to plan for an upcoming road trip. Most of the mail returned to us unopened!! ...Very disillusioning for my son. Even the "Dino Trekking" society the author supposedly belongs to is EXTINCT! The book is cute for kids and does list places in the U.S. that have fossils but it is inaccurate now. Some museums have combined or closed. If you use any information from this book please check on the accuracy, it is an old book.
Many updated family and other dinosaur digs and terrific activities for enthusiasts are completely ignored in this book. Check it out at the library and check on the facts!!! BE warned.

WAS a great book...and will be again.
Unfortunately, I have to agree with the reviewer who said DINO-TREKKING was out of date. It is -- badly. And Wiley refused to allow me, the author, to revise it. But there is good news. Now that the rights have reverted back to me there will be a NEW Dino-Trekking from a new publisher on the way. So watch my website -- ... -- for an Amazon link to the version soon. And enjoy the old classic until that new book arrives. Best always...Kelly.

An excellent and fun resource...
If you love dinosaurs, you have to buy this book. It is well-written, colorfully illustrated, and an excellent guide to dinosaur exhibits around the nation. The fact that this book sells so well on Amazon three years after publication should attest to its merit.
