We LOVE Aliens Love Underpants, and I was so excited to see this book...my son loves dinosaurs. I eagerly read through it and was horrified! I cannot comprehend how the author, illustrator and publisher all thought this was a good idea. The dinosaurs kill each other...they are lying dead in the last pages. I agree with another reviewer...rewrite it! It is not appropriate for the target audience at all. I would give it zero stars if allowed.
Length: 2:39 Mins
While I agree with some of the points made by other reviewers (an absurd premise and a weird ending), my 6 year old finds this book hilarious. Yes, she gets that it is nonsensical, but, she finds it funny that dinosaurs are obsessed with underpants. We have not read the Aliens Love Underpants book. The ending is not horrifying in the sense that we all know that the dinosaurs were, indeed, "wiped out." What other reviewers seem to have missed is that it is actually a play on words ~ "wiped out" meaning exhausted as well as "wiped out" meaning extinct.While not high literature, this is an entertaining book, especially for children of a certain age who find potty humor funny.
You would think that any story that had underpants and dinosaurs in it would be a sure bet as a group read aloud. Not so. The rhyming does not flow and the story line is so silly that I think the kids even realize that this makes absolutely no sense. This could have been so much better. I really liked the illustrations - they are nice and vibrant, but even they can't save this book. It's too low on laughs - once you get over the initial laughs that are generated from the mere mention of underpants, there's just nothing there. Stick with Aliens Love Underpants and any of the other zillion dinosaur stories out there.
I am cracking up as I'm reading these reviews! This book is non-sense, but it's the best kind of non-sense! I have three boys ages 20 months to 6 years, and they all LOVE this book! It is without a doubt one of their very favorites. They laugh hysterically every time we read it. The beginning of the book tells you that this is the story of how dinosaurs went extinct. My boys have noticed that dinosaurs aren't roaming around the neighborhood and indeed don't exist anymore. So...the ending isn't at all horrifying to them. I haven't read "Aliens Love Underpants," and from what I can gather that may be the one people prefer. Having not read that one though...this book is just awesome. Love it, love it, love it.
this was a big disappointment. the first underpants book, Aliens Love Underpants, was innovative, funny, and sweet. Dinosaurs starts out that way, but deteriorates into unpleasant violence. This is a SMALL CHILDRENS' book, for Pete's sake. Rewrite it.
Dinasours love underpants is a cute rhyming story for children that love to laugh at the thought of dinasours wearing underpants. This is a new humerous version of why dinasours go extinct. My son can't help but laugh every time I read this to him.
I bought several copies of this for my great nieces and nephew, for my grandson and granddaughter!! It has been a big hit!! They enjoyed the silliness, the bright colors and the funny explanation as to why the dinosaurs are no more!!
All three of my kids (2,5,8) love this book.Others commented on how horrible to have dead dinosaurs at the end was traumatizing. Not. At. All. One picture with dinos with their tongues hanging out. Smaller kids probably wouldn't even realize what was happening. It doesn't rhyme or flow super great through the entire book like I like ryhming books to do, but the kids really like it. They think its funny that the dinosaurs want to wear underwear, and that some of the cavemen have "nudy bums". I think it would be fun to get the rest of the collection like Aliens love underpants, I hear that's a really good one.
