Dinosaurs in the Supermarket Paperback – Import, January 1, 2013

My boys love this book. I give it as gifts and take it to parent reading days at school. Always a hit. Also teaches names of many dinosaurs with images inside front cover.

Book arrived in great shape. I am very satisfied

Great book

This is a fun book with just a little bit of an edge.SPOILER. Dinosaurs are hiding in the supermarket. Our young hero can see them, but no one else can. The dinos get into some messy devilment, and our hero is blamed. The dinosaurs help clean up, and everyone ends up happy ever after. The edge, of course, comes from the fact that no one believes our boy and it looks like he might be in trouble. When the dinos reveal themselves at the end, all is forgiven.So, the book is not only fun and silly, there is a bit of drama about how it will all resolve. That's pretty sophisticated and adds an element of dramatic tension I didn't expect, but appreciated.The prose is spare; the story is carried by the antic illustrations. The dinos are charmingly irresponsible, and it's especially fun to try to find them early on when they're hiding themselves amongst the produce and canned goods. Our hero is cheerful and calm.So, it's silly and fun, and offers opportunities to talk about what's going on. This struck me as a fun, slightly advanced, picture book with a bit of oomph. A nice find.

This has quickly become my nephew's favorite book to read at my house. He has an entire shelf of dinosaur, jungle animal, bright children's books, but always asks for this one. Sometimes we read it multiple times in a row and he is always delighted when the dinosaurs come out to play.I recently purchased Dinosaurs in my School to give to him for Easter - looks like another beloved book in the making!

My 3yr old LOVES this book and I actually enjoy reading it. He loves to yell the parts that say "There are DINOSAURS in the SUPERMARKET!"

My 2 yo likes this book a lot. She looks for dinosaurs on its pages and is generally very engaged

Cute idea for a book but the text isn't great. Lacks the flowing rhymes that makes children's books so fun. Illustrations are pretty good. There are some truly wonderful kids books out there but this isn't one of them.
