The cute cover drew me in and had the same effect of my niece and nephew who thoroughly enjoyed this book. They have already read silly books about the extinction of the dinosaurs, the addition of mild toilet humour made this a book they wanted to keep and read again and again.

I was sceptical reading this book but the witty opening drew me in (even if it was with a little eye role). I does make you think about issues around the dinosaurs that we don't normally consider, and a group of children who had been studying the dinosaurs appreciated the humour but did inspire them to think about the dinosaurs toilet habits (good or bad...). I would be wary using this in an educational setting, children would enjoy it but i can't see much work coming from it, and possible issues. Of course group dependant.

I liked the ending and so did the younger children that enjoyed reading the book. The ending presents the information as a secret that only they know, making it seem special.

I got this a few weeks ago for my son as he saw the front cover and was drawn in. This book has resulted in hilarious night time giggles. Poo volcanoes are it for 2 year olds. I love the text itself, which helps expand on my kiddos vocabulary. It also introduces the concepts of the toilet, volcano eruptions and a possible theory for the extinction of dinosaurs. Perfect and highly recommend.

I do enjoy picture books that look at reasons the dinsosaurs died out... (eg Dinosaurs love Underpants!). This one was fun and is another book I bought as a gift for one of my nephews.

What a cute and gross story about all different kinds of dinosaurs taking a dump. Super funny and kind of yucky too. Great for boys.

This is the grossest book.

But also the funniest.

[Freddie D · Rating 3 out of 5]

This certainly isn't one for the faint-hearted! Lots of icky poo imagery. But it's cute and funny and the rhythm is pleasant. And everyone loves a good dinosaur conspiracy theory!

For kids who love fart and poop jokes....

This won't be for everyone, nor will it be for the squeamish.

Awesome! Now I know what really happened to the dinosaurs! The illustrations are excellent!

[Dee-Ann · Rating 5 out of 5]

A book which contains dinosaurs, poop and more poop is definitely going to go down well in a household of boys ... it is a no-brainer. They actually read it a couple of times. This book is gross and cute at the same time.
