When the Columbus family goes on vacation, a toy named Dino Boy falls out of the car at the last minute without anyone noticing. Dino Boy, who’s shaped like a small white-skinned and blond-haired child dressed in a green dinosaur costume, refuses to stay home, so he embarks on a trip of his own through each of the 50 U.S. states to try to catch up to the Columbuses. His journey begins in his home state of California, where he explores landmarks from Hollywood to the Golden Gate Bridge. He soon gives up and moves on to Oregon (“He rode up north on his family’s tail, / From Crater Lake to the Oregon Trail”) and the other Pacific Coast states before looping around to the West, the Midwest, and eventually the rest of the country. Each state he visits receives its own dedicated page in the book, including an illustrated state map, a smaller map indicating its location within the U.S., and fun facts like the state’s nickname, flag, and capital. Occasionally, friends like Hamburger Hippo and Tina the Ballerina accompany him for a leg of the journey, but in the end, it takes a return all the way home to California for Dino Boy to find what he’s looking for. In this sequel to Shampanier’s first book, Lost and Found (2022), the hero demonstrates persistence and resourcefulness to an audience who ideally has an interest in geography. The book’s mentions of famous landmarks may leave readers with questions for further research, as will the financial logistics of Dino Boy’s travels, which stretch credibility. Pavón’s bright and dynamic art highlights a single location per page alongside detailed inset maps and better demonstrate all of what each state has to offer.
