Amazon.com Review
Snort,
a mean red dinosaur,
Always gets his way.
He told me not to tell you more.
That's all I have to say.

Snort, Dozy, Hey-Ho-Howdy, Sob, Zoomer, Tremble, and Smooch are the "seven nifty dinosaurs in one swell book" by the ever-popular Sandra Boynton. Each dino is given a two-page introduction, with rhyming verse and playful illustrations. Dozy, "a lazy green, / with floppy scales of tangerine," spends her time lying around sipping lemonade. She'd rather eat her birthday cake candles than expend energy blowing them out. Zoomer, on the other hand, is a "jazzy orange dinosaur" who speeds wherever she goes. Then there's Sob, a "sad blue dinosaur," who mopes and sprawls and sighs... until no one's around--"then he gets up and dances"! These fabulous and funny characters, in Boynton's trademark bright blocks of color, make learning about emotions, expressions, and personality types fun for the very small reader. Color-coded picture tabs allow even nonreaders to find their favorite dinosaur at a glance. For another Boynton board book in this format, try Snoozers: 7 Short Short Bedtime Stories for Lively Little Kids. (Baby to preschool) --Emilie Coulter

Seven different dinosaurs dash, crawl, frolic, mope, stomp, shudder and glide through this lively Boynton board book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Oh Boy! It's Sandra Boynton!, September 30, 2000

By	Lynda (Florida) - See all my reviews

I knew "Dinos to Go" would be a hit, (as all her other books are), when my 3-year-old daughter opened the box and exclaimed, "Oh Boy! It's Sandra Boynton!" I had to read it to her immediately and neither one of us were disappointed. In her usual whimsical and rhythmic fashion we were both entertained by seven dinosaurs, each with a different personality, (happy, sad, mean, timid, ect.). This is a great book to help children learn that people have different personalities just like the dinos in the book. I have been reading Sandra Boynton books to my daughter since she was born and will always read each new title, (again and again), as it is available. This is a fun book and is great for any age from newborns to grandmas and grandpas!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Boynton Winner, October 22, 2001

By	apoem "apoem" (Bosque Farms, NM USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is another great book by Boynton.
My son loves this book and so does my daughter.

The drawings are cute and stay on topic. The pictures add to the text rather than being a distraction to the text.

The repetitive nature of the book is great it makes for a good prereading book. I also like the fun words that are not only fun to say but fun to hear.

A real winner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Boynton Winner, July 14, 2002

By A Customer

Both my 4-year-old and 17-month-old enjoy this great little book. My 4-year-old wants to hear it cover-to-cover. My 17-month-old picks and chooses the stories he likes from the tabs, then runs around saying "Hey-Ho" (for "Hey Ho Howdy," one of the characters). It's also fun for grown-ups, and it would be a great choice for even a 5 or 6-year-old who loves dinosaurs, since there's more text than in most board books.
