What do our readers think of The Dinosaur that Pooped Halloween!? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)

Children enjoy the silly humour, rhyming text, colourful illustrations and repeated reading, with some wanting the story read several times in a row. The spooky creatures add excitement, although children who dislike ghosts, vampires or darker Halloween imagery may find parts of it a little scary.

What does the Pageticker team say about The Dinosaur that Pooped Halloween!?

We love this lively Halloween adventure for its bouncy rhyme, colourful illustrations and satisfying lift-the-flap surprises. Danny and Dino’s sweet-toothed mischief creates a funny, slightly spooky read-aloud experience, with plenty for young children to spot and join in with. The broad toilet humour will delight many children, though it may not suit families looking for a gentler or quieter bedtime story.
