The book is about how dinosaurs say good night. Each times it's asking if they sleep with the lights on. Then asks if a dinusaur slams his tail. Then towards the end it says they kiss mom and dad then goes to sleep.

This is a great book! It can teach children in a fun way how to say goodnight. Throughoute story, the book discusses what all dinosaurs do not do when their parents tell them its bedtime; such as, pouting, getting angry, crying, begging for a piggy back ride, and more. It says that dinosaurs do not behave this way, but they just obey their parents and go to bed. Children love this book because they can identify with it. They may do some of these things that the dinosaurs teach us not to do before going to bed, and by reading this book, they may learn not to behave in those ways. The illustrations are very nice throughout this book!

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0590316818, Hardcover)

"How does a dinosaur say good night when Papa comes in to turn off the light? Does a dinosaur slam his tail and pout? Does he throw his teddy bear all about? Does a dinosaur stomp his feet on the floor and shout: 'I want to hear one book more!'? DOES A DINOSAUR ROAR?" Most certainly not. Dinosaurs give their mommies and daddies big hugs and kisses, tuck their tales in, and whisper "Good night!"

Every sleepy little dinosaur will recognize the tricks of the trade in these bedtime shenanigans. The chuckle factor is sky-high here, with giant, full-page pictures of cleverly identified Tyrannosaurus rexes, triceratopses, and Pteranodons. A variety of human mothers and fathers trying to put their dinosaur children to bed will bring the point home that the story may have something to do with human kid behavior as well. This good-natured nighttime book is sure to be a winner (even though it might inspire a few noisy dinosaur antics), especially as it's written by Jane Yolen, prolific Caldecott Medalist author of Owl Moon. Yolen and Mark Teague have teamed up to create a fun, silly, playful read-aloud. (Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter
