review 1: While Yolen's earlier dinosaur books are a great delight, this one falls short. It doesn't follow the familiar rhythm of the earlier books. While there were cute moments, this one more felt like milking the dregs from the cash cow than the masterful storytelling I have come to expect from Jane Yolen. I prefer stories with more heart, and while she's written many such tales, this is NOT one of them..
review 2: If you know anything about Jane Yolen's fantastic books for young adults, you might be surprised to see her name behind the wildly successful Dinosaur books for toddlers. Then again, maybe you wouldn't be. A well-written book is a well-written book, and Jane Yolen is a master at her craft. Originally, I bought this book for my son because it appeared on th... moree list of 100 Picture Books put out by the South Carolina State Library. I am familiar with most of the books on the list, having been a children's librarian until fairly recently, and then continuing to follow newly released books through the library, and I'm not crazy about all of them, so I won't be investing in all of them. The Dinosaur book, however, seemed like a safe bet. Even though I didn't know this particular book, I knew enough of the series to think that my son would like it. And I was right.So far, of all the Dinosaur books I've read, this one is my favorite. When a book starts out "You woke up this morning is such a bad mood", it is pretty easy for me to connect the dinosaurs in the book with my young son. And, more importantly, it is also pretty easy for my young son to see a good deal of himself in the dinosaurs. less
