Alejandro’s Adventures: Discovering Dinosaurs

Written by : Jose Jaramillo

A gem that combines the excitement of time travel, the wonder of prehistoric creatures, and the heartwarming themes of friendship and courage.

Join Alejandro and his loyal companion, Max, as they embark on an unforgettable journey through time and prehistoric landscapes. With the turn of an ancient pocket watch discovered in their attic, the duo finds themselves in a world teeming with astonishing creatures from the past. The concept of a time-travelling pocket watch is not only fun but also sets the stage for a potential series that kids will eagerly follow.

What I love about this book is how it seamlessly combines entertainment and education. The
vibrant and engaging illustrations draw readers into another world, while the story itself ticks
all the boxes for developing emotional skills in children. The part about the true meaning of
being a hero and the power of friendship is told in a relatable way that will inspire many
future heroes.

The educational aspect of the book is particularly impressive, as it introduces young readers
to various dinosaur species, such as velociraptors and brachiosauruses, using their scientific
names. This attention to detail not only satisfies curious minds but also encourages a love
for learning.
Another delightful aspect of the book is the subtle nods to Mexican culture, like the mention
of bean burritos, Tres Leches cake, and a piñata. These touches add a layer of cultural
richness to the story, making it even more engaging and relatable for children from diverse
backgrounds. For children who are not familiar with Mexican culture, these elements serve
as a wonderful introduction, exposing them to new traditions and customs.
