Love it! Wordplay, dinosaurs, and social skills. The illustrations really make this one work. Adding to my dino story time list RIGHT NOW. Highly recommended for ages 3-6.

Oh! I love the whimsical art featuring an array of dinosaurs, including some fluffy ones! A sweet little dino story with a pronunciation guide at the back, thank goodness

Age: Infant-preschool
Emotions: Messiness, destruction

Great rhyming meter full of dino vocab. While all the other dinosaurs are enjoying craft time or play time, Tyrannosaurs plows in and enjoys wrecking time. But the other dinosaurs get upset and Tyrannosaurus is left lonely and sad. All on his own, he figures out how to fix his destructive manner by repairing his mistakes and tidying up what he destroyed. This book will serve as a great way to discuss that making a mess of other people's hard work is not very nice.

I love everything about this! The rhyming story, the illustrations, and the plays on words are spot on. Adorably fun!

I thought this one was cute and enjoyed the weird art. I think it stressed my kid out a little. Side note: it is neither easy nor fun to try to explain puns to a child who can't yet read.

Tyrannosaurus tries and tries, but he wrecks everything. Will he ever get it right?

Picturing this book being used by teachers to talk about how to play together and get along in a class - especially primary classrooms.

I, too, would like to go to dinosaur preschool with no teachers.
