1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money!, January 22, 1998
A very poor effort from the point of view of a child. There are many errors in the book that will be caught by a four-year-old. Examples, Mesosaurus (a non-dinosaur marine reptile) and Eryops (an amphibian!!) are classed as dinosaurs and my four-year-old found these and about 8 others immediately. This book does have a saving grace, though, you can use it to introduce the child to critical thinking skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Day of the Dinosaur, March 25, 2006
ISBN 0394891309 - Let's be honest - despite the one reviewer whose child, obviously a genius at 4, knew that a Mesosaurus isn't a dinosaur, we're not buying these books to read to college students and Mensa members. The general audience for Berenstain books are young children who are either not yet in school or are only in their first few years. At that age, any dinosaur fan is going to like this book.

A quick rhyming (which I would swear is poetry, not prose) story of when dinosaurs lived, the sorts of dinosaurs that lived and what we can learn from the fossils left behind, The Day of the Dinosaur will entertain the true budding dino-fan and, hopefully, lead them to bigger, better, more scientifically exact books about dinosaurs down the road, when they're ready.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read, January 13, 2005
By lmorning (Royal Oak, MI) - See all my reviews
My 3 year old loves this book and it has helped him to understand the progression of life. He now understands that Dinosaurs and others came before us. He also understood the joke at the end. We really enjoy reading this book together.

4.0 out of 5 stars Day of the Dinosaur
My 2 year old loves this book. He has memorized almost every word. And since it is written in prose, my 9 month old likes to listen to it also. Read more
