When Tom and Dougie announced they were writing a children's book, I knew I had to get it haha.
I'm 20 years old and I actually loved this book, it generally had my laughing out loud!
It has their typical sense of humour in it and to be honest, I do think it's kind of clever with the way they've written it.
Love it.

When I found out that two members of one of my favorite bands wrote a children's Chrismtas book, I knew I needed it. Then when I found out it was called the Dinosaur that Pooped Christmas, I was done lol.
It's a very cute and interesting take on teaching a child the true meaning of Christmas. With hilarious dialogue (even a little gross towards the end), this made me giggle like none other. This will definitely be read each Christmas :)

No wonder my nephew couldn’t stop laughing long enough to tell me what this book was about! It’s hilarious! Brilliant rhyming story accompanied by gorgeous colourful illustrations. But they don’t top the subject matter!!!

Yuck. Santa wants to teach a greedy kid a lesson so he gives him a dinosaur who eats everything and everyone and then poops it all out over several page spreads of brown goo. Just gross.

I got this for my 4 year old son. He absolutely loved it and rated it 5*. As the person reading it to him, I can attest that he did in fact love it. He was laughing at all the right places, even the ones I thought were a bit gross, lol. Guess that’s to be expected as it is a book definitely for young, silly children. My son and I would definitely recommend as a fun read that has a really good moral at the end.

Look, I know that kids' humor tends to be more... scatological... than adults', but does this book need to exist? I find myself conflicted on the answer to that question. On the one hand, Danny is a horrible little boy, so greedy for presents that Santa gives him a dinosaur, which in turn eats Danny's entire family, including the cat, the dog, grandma and her knitting, and Danny's parents, and then Danny's whole house. Upon surveying the hellscape his greed hath wrought, Danny experiences a change of heart, comprehending the true meaning of Christmas. So, yay? It's not a spoiler (since it's the title) that the dinosaur then proceeds to poop out whole everything it just ate, like me after eating spicy Indian food. Then, as proper penance, Christmas must then be washed before enjoyed. A horrifying tale, but, on the other hand, also quite hilarious, and I found myself laughing and having to share it with other adults. So, indeed, this book SHOULD exist. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that Tom Fletcher has made a whole career out of dinosaurs pooping out various things, from planets to the more abstract concept of pooping the past. Good for him!
