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

Children enjoy the funny poo jokes, lively rhymes and colourful dinosaur adventure, and many like having it read aloud at bedtime. Some children find it less funny than the other books in the series or feel that there is too much toilet humour.

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

We love this lively, rhyming adventure, which combines time travel, dinosaur chaos and gloriously silly toilet humour with a strong sense of friendship and teamwork. It is especially well suited to young dinosaur fans and read-aloud story time; expect plenty of poo jokes and some exciting volcano peril.
