My 3 year old borrowed this book from the library and we have had to buy our own copy. He loves dinosaurs and is a massive fan of the other Giles Andrae books Commotion in the ocean rumble in the jungle and farmyard hullaballoo. If you're used to Giles Andrae then you'll know what to expect loads of bright coloured funny pictures and a selection of silly poems this time about a selection of dinosaurs. if you haven't read Giles Andrae before with pre-schoolers then you should. My son laughs out loud at the funny rhymes and has quickly learnt to recite the poems himself because of the simple nature of the rhyming. The pictures are big bold and funny. I think this is a must for dinosaur lovers out there.

My 4 year old loves this book! He already knows many more dinosaurs than me but what is great about this book is the humour, both in the poems but particularly in the pictures- they are fabulous!
If you are finding it difficult to find an interactive dinosaur book that isn't all and only facts then this book is for you and your child. Its fun, funny and fantastic!

My 11 month old son loves this book, and Farmyard Hullabaloo and Commotion on the Ocean. He seems to enjoy the rhymes and obviously loves the colourful, fun illustrations that are so mucha trademark of this series. This book has prompted many 'discussions' with my son about dinosaurs and I've spent many evenings checking things that have come out of our 'chats' on the internet. It certainly seems to be factually correct in most repects as well as having fun, silly rhymes that are easy to read and remember.

A wonderful book
This is a really lovely book, the pictures are bold and bright and the poems small and simple. Phonetic pronounciation makes it easy when reading to young children and will help... Read more

Factually dubious, but good fun.
The illustrations and rhymes are good, but the outdated, incorrect naming of 'Brontosaurus' and explicitly calling the Icthyosaur and Pteranodon dinosaurs when they are not has put... Read more
