Dinosaur vs. Bedtime

“A comical stand-in for any young would-be monster who has made up his or her mind and won’t budge. But in the end, thankfully, ‘Bedtime wins. Good night, dinosaur.’”–The New York Times Book Review“A high-volume attention-grabber that will have audiences roaring along enthusiastically. Fine fare for No, David! fans.”–Kirkus Reviews“Minimal text and backgrounds keep the focus squarely on the familiar activities and events of a preschooler’s day and make the book ideal for active readers, whose approach to life will likely mirror this energetic, adorable (sorry, but check out those pajamas) little red dinosaur’s.”–Horn Book“Shea’s freewheeling compositions convey both a beguiling spontaneity and a preschooler’s sense of invincibility. Kids will be only too happy to capitulate to this irresistible package.” –Publishers Weekly“The predictable text and lively expressions of this cartoonlike character will appeal to kids who are on the go all day. Just don’t expect them to go down quietly as they will be roaring right along with this little hero.”–School Library Journal“Young dinosaurs will soon join in gleefully on the roars and the repeated refrain, and sheer literary momentum may be enough to send listeners roaring off to bed along with Dinosaur.”–The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
