Children enjoy the silly dinosaur adventure, especially the funny idea of dinosaurs wearing roller skates and the lively illustrations. They also find it a quick, entertaining story to share at bedtime, although some children prefer the original Funnybones stories.

What does the Pageticker team say about Dinosaur Dreams?

We love the way this Funnybones adventure turns an ordinary bedtime into a wonderfully silly dinosaur chase, with roller skates, dreams within dreams and a brave Dog Skeleton. The simple, repeating language and darkly comic illustrations make it especially enjoyable to share aloud with younger children.
