Buy this book in hardcover, not as a board book!

We got a couple of books in the Dinosaurs series as board books from my coworker, and overall my daughter (22 months at the time of this review) liked them, but the hardcovers are simply gorgeous with large, detailed and brilliant pictures. I got this book in the library, and Anna wanted to read it several times in a row (not to mention every night since then). I plan to assemble the whole series of hardcovers for her over time, since I see these books having a long life in her development from a bright toddler to a curious child.

Great book for girls too!

My daughter, who is not quite three, loves this book. In fact this book has started an infatuation with dinosaurs. She wants me to read it to her all the time and the illustrations are awesome.

Good night. Good night, little dinosaur

This book quickly runs through various methods children - I mean, dinosaurs - use to try to prolong bedtime, before finally showing the method that children should - and dinosaurs DO - use to go to sleep on time.

The charm is all in the illustrations - don't worry too much about the text.

Dinosaurs vs. Boys

This is absolutely adorable! Part of me is rather suspicious that these dinosaurs are actually projections of small boys, but I have no real proof. This once again proves that Yolen still has the talent for churning out tales for children.

Great visuals, mediocre writing

My two-and-half-year-old daughter loves these "How-To" dinosaur books. I bought How Do Dinosaurs Go To School? first, which she was hooked on and triggered me to buy this one, which she equally loves. She can memorize and articulate the 10 dinosaurs names provided in the book, just as she could with the other dinosaur book, which also introduces 10 types of dinosaurs. However, while the illustrations are highly entertaining to a toddler, the language, like that in the other book, is quite lackluster. It would be ideal if the book also shed literary value and were enjoyable to read aloud to a child as well.
