Our 4 and 1/2 year old twin boys and their 3 year old little brother love this story! They can really relate to the whinning little boy and the way he tries to justify owning a stegosaurus. His ingenuity and perserverance are quite admirable. My boys love the suprise ending! This is a great story to read out loud as long as you can pronounce the names of all the dinosaurs correctly! If not, the children will be sure to correct you!

Make sure you read it with a whine in your voice just like the one they always use in the toy store!! Hysterically funny!!!

I teach preschool (ages 3 -6). Everytime I read this book to the group at circle time, I always get a great response. They really enjoy this book(probably the older ones more so than the younger ones). I think it has to do with the way it is read aloud. I get into it, especially the "Can I have a stegosaurus Mom? Can I please? If I had a stegosaurus Mom..." Overall we all seem to like it.

His Nanna got it for him for Christmas last year and it is probably the most read book we have. It makes him laugh and laugh, but you have to be sure and use funny voices![.] As far as the yucky vegetables part goes, just don't read yucky, we change it to nummy!! This is a great book that I plan on giving as gifts this year!...

I love this book. I bought a dino egg puppet to support the story and I read it to my second graders each year. I love the surprise ending. My dino puppet has the same "surprise" dino that apppears at the end of the story which excites the kids all the more. Great book to add to your home and classroom library.

My son received this book for his fourth birthday. (His 4th birthday was dinosaur themed, too.) He really enjoys the story, but not so much the illustrations. The illustrations aren't stegosaurus-ee enough for him.

My son (3yr) did not like this book. I am not sure why. I had a hard time reading some of the pages to him. One page references yucky vegetables, not what I am trying to teach my son. We were both disappointed. 3yr may be to young for this book.
