What do our readers think of The Dinosaur that Pooped a Planet!? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)
Children find the dinosaur’s enormous appetite, silly rhymes and chance to shout about poo very funny. Some children think the toilet humour and messy illustrations are too disgusting, or that the jokes become repetitive.
What does the Pageticker team say about The Dinosaur that Pooped a Planet!?
We love this book’s energetic rhymes, outlandish space adventure and gleefully silly humour. Well suited to children who enjoy dinosaurs, explosions and toilet jokes: expect plenty of poo-themed comedy and cartoonish gross-out illustrations.
