Customer Reviews

Funny book!

Hurray for Tom and Dom! I really love reading this book aloud. Tom and Dom are such great characters I wish that Tony Johnston would write another Iguana brothers book. With illustrations by Mark Teague, of course.

A Funny Tale of Friendship

3-8 yrs. Children will enjoy this story of Tom and Dom, two Iguana brothers who contemplate such issues as whether or not to eat bugs, their realization that they are dinosaurs, and having friends. They speak english with occasional spanish words reflecting their locale & habitat. A funny story.

Great for brothers

Tom and Dom are so fun, we've read this book over and over again. We've imagined all sorts of new adventures for Tom and Dom, and we've learned some Spanish along the way. This is definately in the the top 10 of our hundreds of children's books.

Very entertaining and conveys a great message!

I would recommend this book for primary grade levels and even for older children for the humorous content. This book is as much fun for the teacher as it is for the kids. It has a great message that brothers can also be friends. I recommend this book highly.

Great Book

This book is the classic "who you are is best" storyline, but is silly enough that it is not saccharine. This story is so much fun that I didn't mind reading it over and over again.
