Genre: Fantasy
Grade Level: K-3

How does the dinosaur say goodnight when papa comes in to turn off the light. This book goes on to tell different situations like does he pout, throw his teddy bear, stomp, shout, roar, demand a piggy back ride, mope, moan, sulk, sigh, and cry. This book is a rhyming book that then describes that the dinosaurs don't do those horrible things. They give big kisses, turn out the light, tuck in their tails, whisper goodnight, give a big hug, and one kiss more!

This book can be used for a rhyming lesson. The rhyming schemes are perfect to develop a rhyming lesson or a rhyming interactive read aloud lesson where you ask the students to come up with words that rhyme with the words in the story as well as identify what the rhyming words are in the book.


The illustrations are amazing! They are very colorful and fun. They are realistic looking drawings and are super fun. They take up the entire page and the words overlap the illustrations.
