Andy asks for this book again and again, back to back. We have to start and end the day by reading this. And he giggles through it every time. It is a good book for talking about opposites and colors, but mainly just a really fun read. We made up signs for various adjectives (shivering for 'dinosaurs cold,' flexing our muscles for 'dinosaurs strong,' etc.) and Andy does them while we read. He even does them when looking through the book on his own. It's really cute. And when the dinosaurs

Sandra Boynton books are all a lot of fun to read to little ones, but this one is my favorite. I have the best memories reading this with each of my kids when they were little. As the reader, you can act out pages as you read and the kids will start to play along. My daughter would watch my face intently as I would read "dinosaurs SAD" and "dinosaurs BAD." My boys would giggle as I poked the dinosaurs and read "dinosaurs SPINY" and we'd all yell "OUCH!"

This is a cute book. It puts an adjective after the word dinosaur on most of the pages and each page is an opposite of the other. The only problem is that it makes my daughter say her descriptive words after the nouns like -the house red-. She really likes it though and wants me to read it over and over again.

Momma thinks it's because I am too young. But, at 20 months, I am not showing a lot of interest in this book. When we pull it from our book pile I thumb through the pages and want to move on. Maybe when I get a little bit older I will like book more.

My kids weren't particularly huge dinosaur fans when they were little, but they both loved this. The emotions the dinosaurs express are universal, and Boynton's portrayal is delightful.

All of Sandra Boynton's books are good for little people. I am not little anymore, so I don't love them as much as I used to, but kids under two will like them.

This book contrasts opposites, like weak/strong and hot/cold. With Boynton's darling illustrations and great rhyme and rhythm. Very amusing and fun to read out loud.

Sandra Boynton is the best! Some dinosaurs are big and some are little, but my favorite thing to find on the different pages is the sun!

Boynton is a favorite of Tess' which she passed along to my kids--I think it is the animal appeal :-)

This is one of those books that you read again and again--mostly because you have to.

We missed story time, so Natalie walked me around the children's room. I let her stand holding herself up with the board book shelves and I saw this. I thought, dinosaurs and Sandra Boynton! This should be great! Well, it was just okay. I wanted it to be more quirky, like All the Hippos Go Beserk, but it was really more of an opposites / adjectives book. Still fun, but not awesome.

"Dinosaurs cold dinosaurs hot, dinosaurs cute and dinosaurs not." This is one of my new favorite board books. Not only do I enjoy the rhymes, but I also like the way the dinosaurs are drawn and depicted. I have even started making up my own verses so that the book never has to end.

Gosh we love Sandra Boynton around here. Boy does she write great books.
This is a quick book of rhymes which *mostly* show opposites (dinosaur weak, dinosaur strong, dinosaurs singing a dinosaur song!) Very fast to read, and cute, engaging pictures for little ones.
