Review by School Library Journal Review

PreS-Gr 2-This entertaining Seuss-style story will have dinosaur enthusiasts clamoring for more. Charming cartoon illustrations provide an amusing complement to the rhyming text. A boy looks around his home and travels around his community in search of his large, green "he likes to roar" dinosaur. The frontispiece shows a silhouette of the boy with the dinosaur tiptoeing behind him; it will get readers hooked from the start. Even the title page contributes to the story. A great hide-and-seek adventure for beginning readers.-Melissa Smith, Green Valley Library, Henderson, NV (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Review by Horn Book Review

Have you seen my dinosaur? / It's teatime. It's his turn to pour." A boy looks for his dinosaur at the zoo, the museum, and other places. No one can help him, but readers will easily see the large green reptile in the illustrations. While the rhyming text strains to tell the story, the generic-looking cartoony illustrations are mildly diverting. Copyright 2010 of The Horn Book, Inc. All rights reserved.
