5.0 out of 5 stars A Dinosaur Favorite that We Read Again and Again April 8, 2003

By C. H. Poorman

Format:Board book

I purchased this book for my daughter when she was only one, and we both quickly learned to love it. Then, when my son came along, this book became one of his favorites as well! The wonderful rhymes and adorable pictures make this book a true blessing for the parent who has to read it over, and over, and over... :-)

I was especially impressed by the small bit of musical score that is part of the rhyme "Dinosaurs singing a dinosaur song." Whenever we get to that page, my children love to sing the little tune that is written there!

Sandra Boynton is a wonderful children's writer, and this is a great example of her work. I highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars My toddler absolutely loves this book! October 6, 1999

By A Customer

Format:Board book

My 19 month old daughter loves Boynton books, this one inparticular. I purchased Barnyard Dance, Oh My Oh My Oh Dinosaurs, andOne, Two, Three for her birthday and I have been very pleased with the quality and adorability of these books. My daughter has begun to memorize certain portions of the book, such as hot and cold, and applies it to everyday things. This is a wonderful book to teach opposites and the rhymes are fun and easy to memorize. I would certainly recommend this and the other Boynton books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely adorable! March 15, 1999

By A Customer

Format:Board book

This is our most recent Boynton Board Book and we are pleased once again. The dinosaurs are adorable with surprisingly expressive eyes. The rhymes are clever too. We read to our 5 month old each night before bed and this is yet another Boynton board book that is ideal. Her books are just the right length for short attention spans and the bright illustrations captivate our little one. Thank goodness for Sandra Boynton!!

By D. M. Barclay

Format:Board book

It was my daughter's favorite and now my son's. We read it with funny cartoon-like voices and they ask for it over and over again. Boynton is wonderful; her books make terrific birthday gifts for young ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my toddler's favorites! September 21, 1999

By A Customer

Format:Board book

I have read to my 24-month-old almost every night of his life, and now that he is old enough to understand, "Go get some books for Mommy to read," he almost always picks this one with his choices. He calls it "Dinos" and really follows along with the reading. The colors are bright, the opposites and rhymes are age-appropriate, and the book is just great for young readers and pre-readers. We got this as a gift from a child who we gave "Barnyard Dance", another great Boynton book, and we plan on buying the rest of the Boynton board books to add to our collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Boynton Books are Great September 20, 2001

By apoem TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Board book

This book is no exception. Almost everything I like about this book can be said about all the Boynton books that we have read.

Cute pictures, easy to read words, nice colors, applicable pictures and on and on.

I really enjoy the Boynton books. I can read them over and over again and not get too burned out on them. That is a bonus in my book as far as children's books are concerned. I particularly like her illustrations. They are simple enough that little children are not overwhelmed by too much going on with the picture. They are also applicable to the words on the pages.

This is not our first Boynton book and it won't be our last.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dinos! December 31, 2003

By ...Loggie...

Format:Board book

I never really realized how many different types of dinosaurs there were until I read this book, even if they be `dinosaurs crammed in an elevator.' This book mentions all sorts of dinosaurs, from big to tiny, smooth to spiky and hot to cold. The pictures used to illustrate each type of dinosaur are really wonderful. They are bright, bold, colorful, and, above all, cute. Like all the Boynton books I've read, the words in this book rhyme very well, effortlessly. The rhyming also helps to make the book flow well, and flow well it does. This is a classic Boynton book, and is a wonderful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars These dinos are friendly November 6, 2002

By A Customer

Format:Board book|Amazon Verified Purchase

Dinosaurs with different emotions, behaviors, sizes, colors, even times. Happy/sad, good/bad, early/later, weak/strong, cold/hot - you get the picture. We also like 1 2 3! and Barnyard Dance in this grouping. Almost all of the Boynton books are a hit at our house.
