* "The Tumas have much to answer for, as this album will join the many like scenes they have posted online as a record of their annual family "Dinovember" celebrations which are already, no surprise at all, spawning fans and similar outbreaks of disorder in other locales. The authors may well have created a monster with this deliciously chaotic notion."—Kirkus, starred review

"Filled with whimsy and imagination, this book will delight children of all ages... Detailed photographs will keep kids turning the pages and parents enjoying the rockling dino antics."—School Library Journal

"...successfully captures the wonder, exasperation, and secret admiration provoked by these terrible lizards’ terrible behavior."—Publishers Weekly

devouring library books are mini‑masterpieces of creativity."—USA Today

"The compositions are excellent, the props adorable... and the hyperbolic narration sustains a fever pitch."—Publishers Weekly
