Summary:
When dad comes in to turn off the light, dinosaurs don’t slam their tails and pout. They don’t throw their teddy bear, or scream and shout. They don’t ask for more books. And when mom comes in to turn off the light, they don’t swing their head from side to side. Or demand piggy back rides. They don’t scream and cry. They give their mother a kiss and turn out the light. They tuck in and say goodnight. They give big hugs and kisses and that’s how dinosaurs say goodnight.

Recommendations:
I would recommend this to children who have a hard time going to sleep, or parents who have children like this.

Potential Problems:
It might give children ideas on how to get out of going to bed.

My Reaction:
It’s cute, the illustrations are funny. But it’s not a book I would want to have to read to my child everyday.
