  My son loves this sequel because of the dinosaurs. We love the illustrations!

  In this sequel to Miss Smith's Incredible Storybook the students are transported back to the "Lost World" where they encounter various dinosaurs as they attempt to find and rescue their teacher from a pterodactyl and get back home. Garland's margin-to-margin computer-generated illustrations are almost too vibrant--the bold colors of the characters' clothing and hair stand out in stark contrast against the more realistic backgrounds, creating a somewhat jarring effect. Dinosaur fans may enjoy these jurassic encounters, but overall, this story is flat and unsatisfying compared with the original.

  This is a wonderful tale - we have read two
  Miss Smith books and our girls just love them! We love that the class becomes so engrossed in the stories she reads that the book becomes alive to them. We also like that the author highlights different literary classics in this series.

  My nephew and I loved this book. He's a high interest, low level reader/listener. We tried this under a recommendation from our children's librarian, and we're so pleased with this book. I tried to do funny voices to make it even better though its not necessary.
  
  Highly recommend this series, hope the author writes more soon!!

  This is the second Miss Smith book I have read and it is just as good as this first. This one is based off of dinasours, which is very interesting to read in a different perspective as Miss Smiths. The pictures are amazing and can draw anyones attention to them.

  One of my boys brought this book home from school and we all loved it. Great illustrations! We wished the story was a little longer. Quite the adventure! We all wish we could have some of our favorite stories come to life like this. Fun!

  Miss Smith's storybook takes her class into Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost World. Being chased by a T-rex, riding a Stegosaurus, and saving Miss Smith from a Pterodactyl's nest the class finally finishes the story to return to their classroom--right before the Pterodactyl egg hatches!

  I love these books for so many reasons, but the main and best reason is because my seven-year-old son loves these book. In fact, he was so inspired by these books that he wanted to turn his bedroom into a library.

  Easily my least favorite of the "Miss Smith" series. My kids think it is funnier when the book characters are trasnported into the world of the children reading the book.

  I think it's confusing that the class found explorers walking around in the time of the dinosaurs.

  A fun/interesting premise but it's bogged down with entirely too much clunky writing and over-explaining of stuff. (Kids are much smarter than the author seems to realize.)
