I am eager to try this book out with the target audience. I enjoyed it and I think children will too. This is a different sort of look at kisses and I have to admit the end surprised me, it was not at all what I was expecting, but it definitely made me laugh. The antics of the young dinosaur reminded me greatly of a young child with her enthusiasm and determination. The baby t-rex starts off stomping and chomping, but then she sees a kiss and decides that is what she wants to do, but her efforts fail in funny ways, until she finds the right creature to kiss, although not in the way I expected. I love this kind of book because they are so fun to share. The reader thinks he/she knows where the story is going only to be delightfully surprised. Highly recommended.
My two (now three) year old loves this book. I love how simply and easily it makes the social errors associated with being a toddler (biting, hitting and so on) and un-guilts them. They are portrayed as being part of the learning process instead of "bad", letting the reader learn in a funny way about why it's not okay to do them, but is also a natural part of the process of learning social skills and having accidents. Very cute. I love Stein's style. He lets so much go unsaid to let the story and pictures tell themselves. I like that it treats my child like an intelligent person capable of picking up on subtleties instead of having to spell everything out. Pouch is another fun one, but was not as loved as this great little book.
I got my nephew a dinosaur book when my sister was still pregnant and it started a dino-themed nursery. I've bought him everything dinosaur and adorable I could find. This book looked so cute on the cover, I just had to get it. Unfortunately, the story is lacking. It doesn't make any sense and isn't even using sentences. I wouldn't recommend. The art is also only okay.
My three year old thinks this is the silliest book ever. He has memorized it and loves reading it to me, as well. It is short and fun, and we like the pictures. It is not to be taken so seriously -yes other animals do get hurt by the dinosaur kisses!
Brought this home because my son was attracted by the illustrations of dinosaurs. I wish I had read it to the end though because all that happens is violence - chomping, stomping, and banging heads together. My son actually got a little upset the first time he read it when there was never a denoument kiss. But then he started enjoying the banging heads and wanting to do it to whoever was around while he was reading it. Sure to cause a headache for parents. Hid it on a high shelf until I can get rid of it.
So if you would like to send the message to your children that it's okay to kill things in negligence without a hint of remorse, then definitely buy this book. But if you think that type of message is uncool, like I did, don't buy it.
This book is about a dinosaur that is learning how to kiss. Instead she bites, stomps, and whomps! She even kisses the wrong way and eats a worm instead. Then she learns that maybe she can't kiss but she finds her baby brother who kisses the wrong way too. So they kiss the wrong way together.I think other kids would like it because it has dinosaurs that are kissing and it's really, really funny.My favorite part was when the girl dinosaur finds her brother and they kiss each other by whomping heads!I loved it so I give it 5 stars.Review by Anderson D., age 5, Mensa 76
This book is really cute, and my daughter (newly obsessed with dinosaurs) is enjoying it greatly. We got it when she was 18 months old, and it didn't seem to be much over her head. She really enjoys the onomatopoeia.
