My 3 year old loves dinosaurs, so I bought this book without really looking at it. I am so glad that I did, because it has become our favorite book -- and NOT because of the dinosaurs. My son loves hearing the rhymes and the repetitions (like an advanced "Brown Bear, Brown Bear") and often repeats them with me. He also quotes the silly rhymes as he plays with other toys. At night, we act out the story and he has quite a "rumpus" before settling down to sleep. All in all, a cute fun book that any child will adore and one that parents will like as it teaches rhymes and sounds of words in a fun way.
This book rules! I have read this to preschooler's and they love it. My friend taught a drama class for pre-schoolers and had them do a little dance to it with motions and sing the rhyme. The parents loved it, the kids loved it, and it was the cutest thing to watch! I definitely recommend this book to anyone with small children.
This book is adorable. The pictures are colorful, the text rhymes and the story is simple but enticing. We enjoy this book almost every night these days. Some of the dinosaur names are hard to say, but we still love it!
My 3 yr old loves this book too. He can actually recite it by heart- dinosaur names and everything. We also have Dazzling Diggers and I just realized today they are written by the same person- prompting me to come look at for more Mitton books.
This is a very appropriate book for little children who love dinosaurs. The pictures are bright and lively. There are many rhymes that kids love. The contents are truly harmless and does not use inappropriate language. The pages are thick and sturdy. Just get it if your little one loves dinos!
We love this book! It is fun to read over and over as the dinosaurs get ready for their rumpus. I had to look up the pronunciation of some of the dino names, but the illustrations are fun and not scary when it comes to dinosaurs.
My teacher read this to us at school. Every single page of that book is good. Dinosaurs play really loudly. I was a little bit scared the first time I heard it, because the T-rex ran out. But now i am not scared anymore and it is REALLY fun to read.
Catchy rhymes and bright colorful illustrations. My child loves it and at age 3 can recite most of it herself. We took it to preschool one day to share and a boy who hasn't liked the group book activities much was super-engaged by it and went home telling his mom all about it.
Dinosaurumpus!
