Review
Dina, a deaf dinosaur, runs away from home because her parents will not let her leran sign language even though it would allow her to communicate more complicated ideas. In the forest Dina Otto the owl, Camilla the chipmunk, and Moliere the mole. Fortunately, Otto learned some sign language years before when he lived below a deaf dove. Dina teaches them the sign language alphabet and a few words. They invited her to stay with them. This children's book will delight children who can hear or who are deaf. Sign language is taught in a creative and memorable way. Valentine's illustrations are magical, colorful watercolors that grace each right hand page of the story. -- Book Description

3.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting book-nice photos-older elementary audience,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dina the Deaf Dinosaur (Hardcover)
Definately a book for a more mature elementary audience. I didn't like how the dinosaur ran away. It is hard for parents to come to grips with their child's deafness.... but the dinosaur isn't presenting a good solution by running away. It can be used to talk to kids whose parents don't learn sign language... how can they cope, how do they feel etc. Nice pictures. Teacher of the Deaf
