I bought this for my 5 year old kindergartner who loved the dinosaur characters and the easy to read format (simple enough that he could read it by himself with only a little help from mom). There is also a moral to this charming story about liking yourself for yourself.

I had been trying to find a book my kindegartner could ready by himself, and this was one of few with large print and very simple text. There are a few words that are unusual, but they can be deciphered from the illustrations. He loves it. The story flows nicely from one page to the next, the illustrations match the text, and the book is even educational. It is not easy to find a book that is not only aimed at the very earliest readers but also captures the interest of an active youngster. This one did it. Now my son is interested in reading many new books. Highly recommended.

I bought this book when my son was three and read it to him. He has hundreds of books and recently rediscovered this one in a box. Now, five, he reads it to me. There are a few hard words but many are "sight" words right out of his Kindergarten lessons.

This book tells the toddlers about the characteristics of animals,not just dinosaur, like creast, horns, tails. The pictures of the books are very charming. Even my 30 months old son cannot read the words, he can tell the book just from the picture. It is amusing that a small child can read it himself. It is a great book for toddlers who are ready to read by themselves.

We read it every night and she'll read it to me, it's such a simple story and with the pictures she knows how it goes. I like it too, I don't mind reading it a million times.
