We love "How do Dinosaurs" books. In fact we pretty much have the entire collection. This book though only got 4 stars because when my 8 yr old son read it to his 3 brothers. (2 1/2 and 16 month old twins) they started acting "mad" and even ripped a book and threw toys, just like in the book. Great to add to collection but beware I would advise this more for 4 and up in which they know how to really get mad ( count to 10) like in the 2nd half of book. Young ones will just find the "mad" part more exciting.

The book doesn't give any POSITIVE examples of how "dinosaurs" can say, "I'm mad!" I had such high hopes since the series is so delightful and my toddler needs constant reminders about appropriate ways to express her displeasure. Unfortunately, the book only offers examples (and hilarious illustrations) of dinosaurs behaving badly. The last two or three pages--wait, let me count (OK, 5 good dino pages and 15 bad ones)--show the dinosaurs apologizing for their tantrums and cleaning up the havoc but it does not offer any dino-alternative to throwing the mug, scattering the crayons, or roaring at parents. Making amends after a break down is certainly an important topic to cover with kids because they'll never get it right every time but the title led me to believe the book would contain examples of how to express anger positively. Perhaps it'd be better to call it How Do Dinosaurs Say, "I'm Sorry?"Please note, I do not want to dissuade anyone from enjoying this wonderful series of books. I've been reading them to my daughter since infancy. The whole series is visually intriguing with clever rhymes that I often hear her repeating to herself. I'm disappointed in this particular book, but it's still head and shoulders above most of the kid-lit out there.

This book has been wonderful for my clients who are a mature 3 to 5. It does a great job at portrayingthat we all get angry, but we need to learn how to handle our anger. And it is about a dinosaur! I find that kids are more willing to read about an animal than a person.

This is one of my two year olds favorite books. The dinosaurs are funny and are shown getting into all kinds of trouble. In the end they count to ten and work through their anger. This has helped my daughter both identify emotions and gain tools for coping with them.

This super fun series of books are sure to please all the dino lovers out there! My dino loving 4.5yr old can't get enough dinosaur books and I can't get enough of the creatively illustrated stories in this series as you journey through typical toddler and preschool behaviors with boundry testing, mood swinging picky"fun" (humorously illustrated) and still the undeniable love between parent and child. Great books to have in your little readers library! I do love these bigger, hard cover books, though personal preference may have others picking differently.

My 3-year-old son and I both loved "How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight," so I bought this one for him at a book fair without reading through it. I was really disappointed with some of the actions depicted in the book, particularly flinging a mug at a cat and ripping up books. I try to skip those pages, but it messes up the rhyming of the book. I'm sure it's fine for an older kid, but at this age I try to avoid giving him ideas of innovative naughty things to do that he hasn't already come up with on his own (!!)

My son was not keeping his hands to himself where he goes to pre-k. His teacher was telling us almost every night that " He pushed some friend" or "He hit his friends with toys or books" We were looking for a way to teach him what he should do when he gets mad. This book did a great job on him. He loves dinosaurs very much and anything comes with "Dinosaur" title, gets his attention.After I bought this book, we read it the same night two times. Very next night and night after..Every time, we read the book, I have him finish the sentence. He loves it and follows dinosaurs action in the book. This book worked like MAGIC on him and I am glad I found this book. Thank you, Figen A.

My son loves this book. He is on the autism spectrum and has a hard time expressing his emotions in an appropriate way. He enjoys reading about how the dinosaur learns to say he is mad. He also enjoys that the names of the dinosaurs are listed next to each illustration.
