Yolen’s lilting, reassuring verse cries out for repetition, so grown-up readers should brace themselves for countless requests to “Read it again.””— Parents’ Choice Some people think dinosaurs may have said goodnight by blowing a raspberry or making some other noise. Well never know for sure, but its still a fun topic to discuss! Reading tips:• This book explores the contrasts between “good” and “bad” bedtime behavior in a playful way. For instance, it asks if dinosaurs jump on the bed, or whether they give their parents a kiss and say “goodnight.” There are now plush dinosaur toys, both adult and baby (adult shown here) based on Teague’s cover illustration. They are created by MerryMakers and widely marketed.Focus on the passages that you and your child find enjoyable rather than worrying about finishing the book.
