What do our readers think of There's a Dinosaur in Your Book? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)

Children enjoy the dinosaur characters, bright illustrations and chances to stomp, roar and join in with actions throughout the story. They especially like the lively story-time experience, although the repeated activities may feel familiar to children who already know other books in the series.

What does the Pageticker team say about There's a Dinosaur in Your Book?

We love the way this lively, interactive adventure turns reading into a shared game, with children helping a noisy dinosaur make friends while practising when to whisper, hum, dance and roar. Its playful focus on inside and outside voices offers a useful starting point for conversations about manners and volume, although grown-ups should expect an energetic, sometimes noisy read-aloud.
