What do our readers think of The Dinosaur That Pooped A Princess!? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)

Children find the rhymes, fairy-tale silliness and especially the dinosaur’s pooping jokes very funny. Some children dislike the dinosaur eating or pooping out the characters, including the princess.

What does the Pageticker team say about The Dinosaur That Pooped A Princess!?

We love the lively rhyming text, colourful fairy-tale setting and gloriously silly surprises in this fast-paced adventure. Its message about princesses not always needing to be rescued adds a welcome twist, while the plentiful toilet humour makes it best suited to children who enjoy cheeky jokes; one may wish to preview the more explosive moments.
