Well, dinosaurs don't <i>have </i>dinnertimes! They eat whatever they like (gobble, crunch!), make a dreadful mess, and hate to take baths and wear pajamas (where would their tails go?). Dinosaurs are much too big to play nicely--they rampage and stomp around and knock things down! But <i>maybe</i> they'd listen to a bedtime story, if it's ROARY. . . . With exuberant illustrations merging bedtime routines with a little boy's fantasy world--and showing Mom's role in both--this ode to dinosaurs, wild imaginations, and cleverly won bedtime snuggles is sure to get roars of approval from kids and parents alike.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>In spite of the boy's poor behavior, no one will have any doubt of this mother's love as she tucks him tenderly in, the bright, busy digital illustrations speaking volumes.<br>--Kirkus Reviews <p/>Knapman slips occasional alliteration and rhyme into the exchanges ("Towel!"
