Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs: A Fun and Bright Introduction to Prehistoric Beasts

This book is my and my son's second favorite book from Byron Barton, the top being "Bones, Bones, Dinosaur Bones." This book is excellent and great for young children that might be interested in dinosaurs. My son is only 4 months old, but he loves the images and the kind of art that Mr. Barton does in these books. Manufactured in China.

Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs is, at the moment, my baby's favorite book. I spread a different set of four books out on the floor in front of her every morning, and she always chooses this one first if it's there. She turns the pages herself, and seems to favor kentroasuarus (orange dinosaur with spikes) and tyrannosaurus rex (dinosaur with long, sharp claws and long, sharp teeth). It's really fun to see! Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs is also one of my favorite baby books. I love Byron Barton's illustration style with big, bold colors, and I like his simple writing style, too. I also get a kick out of the fact that a volcano erupts every time T-Rex comes on the scene. I guess he's just that awesome. This set of board books (I have a lot from Byron Barton, including: Boats, Planes, Machines at Work, and Trains) stands up very well to its exposure to a teething, drooling baby who still spits up on her books regularly and is determined to turn the pages for herself -- enthusiastically. That is to say, we abuse -- I mean, read -- this book daily, and it's still in quite good shape. A little wear and tear at the edges of the pages where the gumming has been particularly vigorous, but otherwise fine. My only lament about this book, and board books in general, is that they are nearly always abridged. I have the paperback version of this book, too, and it has some extra pages in it, including triceratops mommy laying her eggs and the pachycephalosaurses head-butting it out. Without the battle of the bony-headed dinosaurs, the pachycephalosaurus on the last page of the book seems like an afterthought. Oh well. I still love this book, and Elsie just has something to look forward to when she's big enough for paper books (if Dinosaurs Dinosaurs is still a favorite by then).

I had a smaller hard cover version of this book and lost it. Just as well because this larger paper back version will be better to read to my preschool class. This is a good introductory book to present to young children and particularly those with special needs as the text and illustrations are extremely clear and simple.

This book is really wonderful and colorful. It's one of my son's absolute favorites. The 'plot' is pretty straightforward, just describing the different types of dinosaurs (i. e. dinosaurs with horns, dinosaurs with sails on their backs, scared dinosaurs, hungry dinosaurs, etc). If you read every line with emotional flare, it becomes very dramatic. It has the names and pictures of the dinosaurs in the back, so it's educational as well as entertaining. My son also likes pointing to all the different objects in the book - the water, the sun and stars and trees, so we spend some time talking about every page. And board books are really wonderful because he can turn the pages himself without tearing the book apart.

I bought this based on reviews for a "4s" classroom read-aloud for my child's in-class birthday celebration. It was a yawner. Okay, very cute but WAY too simplistic and short versus what I expected. It is truly board-book quality and quantity material. Ma 3-5 words per page. In fact, it has less content than your average Boynton board book. Anyway, perfect for what it is but, if you're looking for Pre-K or K readers, keep looking. Younger targets readers will also like Bones, Bones, Dinosaur Bones. Fun!

My son's favorite book when he was little, now giving to a new generation

This is one of my 2 year old's favorite books. He knows every single page by heart, as well as the names of the dinosaurs! The book is cute, easy to read, and fun! Here is my complaint though: in the paperback copy we checked out from the library, there was a page with parasaurolophus, but that page is missing in the board book version I bought on Amazon! I wonder why! It's our favorite page and now we miss it!

This was my favorite book as a child. I just bought this for my son and I am excited to share a classic from my childhood with him. Great for any little ones who love Dinosaurs.
