Dinosaur fans (like dinosaurs) come in all shapes, colors, and sizes. Kids love to play with plastic dinosaur figurines. Families flock to the cinema when a new dino movie hits the big screen. We curl up on the couch and stream new or old dinosaur programs. We wear dino merchandise. Many of us even have a favorite dinosaur. (FYI: Mine is Blue, the female Velociraptor from Jurassic World.) For those who love comedies as much as they love dinos, you've hit the jackpot with Look! There Are No Dinos Inside of This Book.
We are introduced to Dangerous Dave, a dinosaur wrangler who assures readers that this book contains no dinos. Of course, the reader can assume there will be. Dangerous Dave repeatedly refutes claims that 'you saw something.' The viewing audience will crack up over page after page of hilarious images and scenes. It isn't easy to pinpoint which comedic moment I adored the most since there was something to love on every page. The dinosaurs marching in the parade were cute. I chuckled at the drawing of two dinosaurs holding onto the strings attached to the Dangerous Dave turkey balloon. Even the blueprint with a mustard stain and apology note was funny because we've all dribbled something on our clothes, work, and homework. That's why some restaurants offer bibs!
While Dangerous Dave insists there are no dinosaurs in this book, the evidence suggests otherwise. The teeth tearing across the page is a stroke of creative genius, as is the way the illustrator cleverly covers up the torn paper. The author encourages readers to interact with the book, inviting them to touch the ripped paper. This made me wonder if the print edition will be marketed as a sensory book with touch-and-feel features. That would be a lovely touch. (No pun intended.)
Dangerous Dave is not the only character speaking in cutesy rhymes or assuring readers all are safe in this book. Wait until Dave can't ignore the existence of the dinosaurs any longer! Kids will squeal with delight as the wrangler screams in fright!
With its engaging text and illustrations, Look! There Are No Dinos Inside of This Book is a guaranteed giggle-fest from the moment we meet Dangerous Dave to the dino eatery scene. It's a comedic gem that's not just for kids, but for the whole family to enjoy together.
