What does the Pageticker team say about The Dinosaur That Pooped a Zoo!?

We love the energetic rhyming text, playful illustrations and interactive lift-the-flap surprises in this riotous zoo adventure. Danny and Dino’s chase is packed with silly humour, animal excitement and just enough peril to keep young listeners engaged. It is a strong choice for children who enjoy dinosaurs, zoos and toilet humour, although some may wish to consider whether the poop jokes and hungry-lion scenes suit their child.
