Why we chose this book

This book is an excellent selection when you're looking for a fun and meaningful bedtime story. The story encourages good behavior when winding down for bed and will teach your child a lot of dinosaur names. The book has won several notable literary awards and will win high accolades from your family as well.

Children are always interested in dinosaurs, but they will be even more entertained when the dinosaurs do things that they do everyday. The bold, hilarious illustrations will make your child laugh, and the nice rhymes make it pleasing to read aloud. There is also a lot of love in the story, and your child will relate to the bedtime setting and friendly characters.

My nephew Joshua is going through a pretty serious dinosaur phase right now. He loves to see all the different types of dinosaurs, even though he definitely does not remember any of their names yet. This is such a great book for him because he will do almost anything to be like a dinosaur.
