We were a little disappointed with this book and a couple of the other board books in this series. Our one-year-old son LOVES the full size "How Do Dinosaurs" story books, but he hardly pays attention to the board books.

First of all, the words and rhymes aren't as clever. Maybe the concept of counting or colors just isn't as good of a material as going to bed, eating your food, or going to the doctor.

Second, the books are short and the artwork is very scaled down and much simpler. My son loves the artwork in the bigger books but the white background in these is kind of boring.

Maybe time will tell, but he is getting past the board book stage and I am just not sure that these books will hold the attention of kids who are at an age for learning colors or numbers. I wish there was a full-size version, and I wish I had known the content of the board books was not as good as the big books. Now YOU do!

I bought about 4 of the books in this series for my nephew for Christmas. The illustrations are fantastic and the stories are clever. This one is his favorite, but that changes on a weekly basis. I personally thought all of them were cute, but my favorite one to read to his is "How Does a Dinosaur Say I Love You".

I really loves these dinosaur books. I have a 3 year old girl who loves dinosaurs and these are great. The books in this series all have a lesson to learn, either moral, or academic. Awesome set!!

I deliberately chose this book because my son loves dinosaurs and I thought it would be a great way to teach him his primary colors. The dinosaurs filled most of the pages and the items that were used for the "color" were so small that you have to point them out to the child. I won't return it because of the return shipping costs Amazon charges, but I certainly wouldn't recommend this to anyone else.

This book is not only entertaining but has become my 23 month old sons favorite. He loves the pictures and can easily associate with what the book is teaching. This is a great book.

My one year old son loves for me to read these books over and over again. He has liked them since he was about 6 months old. I enjoy the simplicity as well.

How do dinosaurs go to the bank and cash big checks? By writing books like this. Total winner, though not as good as How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight.

It doesn't flow as well as the others, and like others stated, you do have to keep stopping in the middle of the rhyme to help the child find the color they are talking about. Its ok, still cute.

Well-loved books by both parents and baby! Stories have great rhythm and the illustrations are beautiful. These stories were the ONLY thing that would calm our baby during a 16-hour car ride! Highly recommended.

This wouldn't be my first choice to teach a child colors even if that child was a dinosaur fanatic. The pictures of the colored items are small. The prose isn't very catchy and some of it doesn't seem to make sense even for a board book.
