Winnie and Wilbur travel back in time to the age of the dinosaurs in this thirteenth picture-book adventure from Australian author Valerie Thomas and British illustrator Korky Paul. When the local museum holds a special competition for the best picture or model of a dinosaur, Winnie is determined to win the prize. But her inability to imagine how a triceratops would look, in the flesh, leads her to cast another of her spells. With a live model to work from, Winnie manages to create a drawing that almost looks like a triceratops, but it is her actions in bringing the triceratops back with her into the future, that really decides the competition...

As with the other entries in this quirky witchy series, I enjoyed Winnie's Dinosaur Day immensely, appreciating the humorous tale of magical hi-jinks, and the detailed artwork. I particularly enjoyed some of Wilbur's reactions this time around, as he looks on aghast while Winnie casts her spell, and hides his eyes rather than look at the dinosaurs around him. Like its predecessors, the endpaper artwork here is supplied by young child fans of the series, in this case from South Korea, which adds to the sense of child-friendly fun. All in all, another entertaining addition to the Winnie the Witch series, one that will appeal to fans of these characters, to children who enjoy witchy tales, and to young readers with an interest in dinosaur stories. The ending, in particular, will appeal to those children who have dreamed of having a dinosaur of their own... ( )
