What do our readers think of The Dinosaur That Pooped The Bed!? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)
Children mostly find the dinosaur, the rhymes and the enormous poo jokes very funny, with some enjoying shouting along with the silly parts. A few children think the story is too disgusting or not as funny as other books in the series.
What does the Pageticker team say about The Dinosaur That Pooped The Bed!?
The Dinosaur That Pooped The Bed is a gloriously silly, rhyme-filled romp that turns tidying a bedroom into a very messy dinosaur disaster. Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter deliver their usual lively, read-aloud-friendly style, while Garry Parsons’s energetic illustrations add plenty of visual jokes. Best for children who enjoy toilet humour, though adults may want to brace themselves for repeated demands to shout “poo!”
