A cute slightly rhyming story. I loved that they used real dinosaur names, which will surely be a hit with some of my littles that know everything about dinos.

I think this one will be perfect to pair with Koo Koo Kanga Roo's 'Dino Stomp' for storytime.

This is such a colorful book with happy looking dinosaurs; which was the goal when Scott Nash created the illustrations for this book.

I can't believe I don't own this one! This is one of my all-time favorites that I used to read at children's storytime back when I worked for the bookstore. It's great and kids love the rhyme and the "Boomalaka Boomalaka, Whack - Whack -Whack!"

Fun for kids who love dinosaurs. I don't particularly.

The pictures were pretty decent but the author tried so hard to include dinosaur nomenclature and rhymes that the story suffered.
