School Library Journal Review

PreS-Gr 1-Dinosaur is embarking on a new experience: school. Shea's collages are bold, vivid, and laugh-out-loud funny. His cartoon style is at times reminiscent of The Powerpuff Girls and The Ren & Stimpy Show yet is uniquely his own. Kids will appreciate the humor and Dinosaur's confidence as he faces off against some familiar situations. This is an excellent read-aloud that becomes interactive as the story builds. As an added bonus, if you look closely, you can spot Buddy and the Bunnies from Shea's previous book. Add this title to your cart, and your patrons and students will be sure to cheer.-Krishna Grady, Darien Library, CT (c) Copyright 2014.

Publisher's Weekly Review

School is no match for Shea's rambunctious, ever-confident red dino, starring in his fifth picture book. This is a hero who brings a winner-takes-all attitude toward making friends, playing dress-up, and craft projects alike: "Roar! Sprinkle! Roar! Glue! Dinosaur wins!" shouts Dinosaur, as Shea draws him in manic brushstrokes covered in googly eyes. But when it's time to clean up, Dinosaur looks more like a frightened salamander than a fearless reptile. Shea's illustrations are as unruly and imaginative as ever in this pitch-perfect, egocentric take on living (school) life to the max. Ages 3-5. Agent: Steven Malk, Writers House.
