Media Reviews
The short length of the poems, humorous illustration and, of course, those ever-popular flaps all combine to make this a sure hit. -- Kirkus Reviews
The smooth writing reads aloud well . . . The playful design and typeface enhance the funny pictures; the silly, googly-eyed look of most of the dinosaurs is especially appealing. -- School Library Journal
With its expressive cartoon dinosaurs, this lift-the-flap poetry book emphasizes fun over science. The rhymes have plenty of bounce . . . zippy illustrations and interactive format. -- Publishers Weekly
