The second book of a series about the everyday adventures of a young girl named Jessie who has two moms. Here, she spends the day with Mommy and they take a trip to the museum to see the dinosaurs, including her favorite, pterodactyls. At the end of the day, they go home and tell Mom all about it.
Young readers will likely appreciate Jessie’s kids’-eye observations about her world. The story is pure dialog, which helps immerse readers in Jessie’s world, although the lack of dialog tags make it occasionally hard to tell who is speaking. It might also have been helpful to give some initial indication of where Mom was while Jessie and Mommy were at the museum; readers who haven’t read the other books in the series might at first think she’s being raised by a single parent.
Still, this is an earnest and cheerful story in which the fact that Jessie has two moms is purely incidental to the tale. Jessie and her moms are White; the visitors at the museum are of various skin tones.
