Book Reviews of How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?
Book Review: Dinosaurs act up at bedtime too!
Summary: 5 Stars
This imaginative book features a large cast of "real" dinosaurs acting as naughty as real kids do when it's bedtime. I loved the pictures of exasperated parents as a huge brontosaurus throws covers on the floor or a tyrannasaurus rex runs around the room. My second grade niece, a good reader, handles the text with ease but isn't too old to be tickled by the concept. Younger siblings like this one too. Inside the front cover is a chart with small drawings of the characters and their scientific names--an educational bonus!Book Review: Story Time Crowd Pleaser!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent bedtime book for young children, as well as a great read aloud book for a library or preschool. The premise of the book, dinosaurs acting just like human children at bedtime, appeals to the sense of humor of young children. The illustrations show huge dinosaurs throwing tantrums, giving goodnight kisses and curling up in their tiny, child-sized beds. Other fun elements include pet dogs, human parents and their own childish artwork displayed on their bedroom walls. A completely charming book.Book Review: A Must for Dinosaur Lovers of All Ages
Summary: 5 Stars
What an incredible book! With it's endearing poetry, beautiful illustrations, and laugh out loud descriptions of bedtime dodging tactics, it's an A+ all around. My two year old son has swiftly learned all the names of the dinosaurs in the story and loves to say them as we work our way through. We first heard this story at our local library's preschooler story time -- the parents present laughed out loud almost more often than the kiddies did! Definitely on my "must have" list of toddler books!Book Review: A MUST for trying bedtimes! Great book!
Summary: 5 Stars
We received this as a gift and my children (2 and 3) have adopted this as their new favorite bedtime book. Bedtime is a battle and this has really helped. We now go to bed like the dinosaurs in our book.
It is well written and has beautiful illustrations. I especially love that each dinosaur on each page has their name. My boys LOVE dinosaurs and are very inquisitive about what type of dinosaur each was.
We have a few more from this series and I am yet to be anything but pleased!
Book Review: My son's ALL-TIME favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a little disappointed to learn that this book didn't come as a board book, because my son can be a little rough with turning the pages. However, the illustrations are beautiful, so I understand why it is only available in hardcover. That being said, my 19-month old has actually learned to be GENTLE in turning the pages with this one, and it is a story that he wants to hear every night without fail. Fortunately, it is one book I don't mind reading over and over and over and over and over . . .
