Reviews

[Miss Janis the Storytime Lady]

these are not my favorites. I find them awkward to read.

[Nadina]

The same format as the others in the series, and yet still the same. I love the illustrations, the text is just enough. I love that the book is interactive and that it lists actually names of dinosaurs. Feels like it could be adapted to be a perfect storytime book.

[Barbara]

Good grief! Fans of the previous eight books in this series will definitely want this picture book, which features a dinosaur and digital artwork that's easy on the eyes. As with the previous ones, readers are encouraged to be interactive as they read the book, trying to use inside voices, tap parts of the pages, hum, count, wave, blow, and even make a silly face, as they try to avoid waking up the big dinosaur who is sleeping somewhere in the book. Although there are several places where quietness is needed, the book also encourages young readers to "STOMP AND ROAR!" (unpaged) at appropriate points. It's a good thing, too, since it's hard to hold onto all that energy forever. This book might help youngsters understand how and when to regulate their volume, something that I sometimes struggle(d) with as well.

Keep in mind I’m a speech therapist so this is a bias. This is one of the books in the There’s a _________ in your book, but this one focuses on using an “inside voice “ and quiet interactions with others. I’ve struggled teaching this concept so I will be using this book to help. Besides it’s cute book that encourages engagement by asking for participation such as saying hello quietly to the characters or waving.

[Jennifer]

This book fits right in with the rest of the series, only this one focuses on using inside voices and staying quiet so we don't wake the "Big Dinosaur" in the book. Don't worry, there's still plenty of opportunities for moving and shaking and being interactive, including a few chances to dance and ROAR! This one is sure to be a hit at story time.

There's a Dinosaur in Your Book is the 11th in this series by Tom Fletcher. Little Dino is looking for new friends. We meet Triceratops, Diplodocus, Stegosaurus and Big Dino. The story line invites readers to complete actions along the way. It is a great series to engage young readers in interacting with a book.

[Debbie Phillips]

A wonderful book with excellent, adorable illustrations that kids love due to it's interactive nature where the kids have things to do on each page. Shhhhh... there's a big dinosaur in the book, don't wake him up.... oops... we were too loud... he looks grumpy. How can we cheer him up??

Read for a Dino Storytime on June 12th when my paid performer cancelled at the last minute.

[Annamarie Carlson (she, her)]

This is obviously a storytime winner. The only real question is why other publishers haven't been actively copying this type of book structure when this is the 9th book in a very successful series. There can never be enough interactive books that have the right level of engagement for toddlers.

[Joanne McGowan]

A good book. I love the illustrations and the actions you could do whilst reading this book with a child or children. I like Tom Fletcher and I’m looking forward to reading more of his books.

[Ayla Harper]

Super cute. I love Tom Fletcher's "Who's in Your Book" series - they're great for a toddler/preschool story time because they're so interactive.

[Kayla Edwards]

I adore the interactive read alouds - they're so much fun and the kids really get into them!

Very interactive book. Would work great for Toddler Storytime!

[Ms. Madalyn]

A good one-on-one read as it has the reader directly interact with the book, which wouldn't really accommodate a large storytime.

[Emma Land]
