School Library Journal Review
PreS-Gr 1-From the opening pages, Dinosaur is ready to battle. In this installment, Dinosaur takes on his mommy. Each page turn offers readers a chance to predict what part of Mommy's day Dinosaur will tackle. For example, on one page turn he is sneaking toward a dark, open door in his pajamas-kids will relate to Dinosaur's tactics for waking up Mommy by bouncing all over the bed. Dinosaur continues to battle Mommy through breakfast, a shower, a shopping trip, and folding laundry. There's plenty of humor throughout these pages that will appeal to kids. In one scene, Dinosaur flushes his toys down the potty while Mommy takes a shower and throws underwear in the air while Mommy folds clothes. Mommy shows plenty of patience as she wrangles Dinosaur into the bath. Readers get a satisfying ending; even though Dinosaur puts up a fight, he is still greatly loved by his mommy. Kids and parents alike will relate to these familiar daily battles. Shea's energetic illustrations offer the humor that he's known for, and careful viewers will notice some characters from previous books, such as Unicorn from Unicorn Thinks He's Pretty Great (Disney-Hyperion, 2013). VERDICT Another great addition in the "Dinosaur vs." series.-Andy Plemmons, David C. Barrow Elementary, Athens, GA (c) Copyright 2015.

Publisher's Weekly Review
Shea's strong-willed red dinosaur is back, and he's making his Mommy's life utterly chaotic. Dinosaur does a cannonball dive onto Mommy while she's sleeping in, throws toys into the toilet while she showers ("roar! trains! Roar! bunny! roar! flush!"), and reigns victorious over being forced into and out of the bath, as well as getting into pajamas. Luckily, when Mommy is too exhausted to fight back, Dinosaur relents, embracing her in a hug: "Mommy wins!" As always Dinosaur's facial expressions can shift from devious to timid on a dime (in between moments of attack, he clutches his stuffed bunny and gazes worriedly at grocery items). Shea's buoyant, emotive artwork and sharp comic timing make Dinosaur's fifth story feel as fresh and funny as his first one. Ages 3-5. Agent: Steven Malk, Writers House.
