What do our readers think of The Dinosaur That Pooped a Reindeer!? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)
Children find the rhymes, festive silliness and poo jokes very funny, and some enjoy returning to the story again and again. A few children think the toilet humour is too gross, so it suits children who enjoy wonderfully messy jokes.
What does the Pageticker team say about The Dinosaur That Pooped a Reindeer!?
The Dinosaur That Pooped a Reindeer! delivers exactly what its title promises: festive chaos, bouncy rhymes and plenty of toilet humour. The lift-the-flap format and bright North Pole adventure make it a lively choice for young children who enjoy joining in, while adults may want to check that their audience is firmly on Team Poo. It is gloriously silly rather than subtle, and that is very much the point.
