The Day of the Dinosaur

ISBN 0394891309 - Let's be honest - despite the one reviewer whose child, obviously a genius at 4, knew that a Mesosaurus isn't a dinosaur, we're not buying these books to read to college students and Mensa members. The general audience for Berenstain books are young children who are either not yet in school or are only in their first few years. At that age, any dinosaur fan is going to like this book. A quick rhyming (which I would swear is poetry, not prose) story of when dinosaurs lived, the sorts of dinosaurs that lived and what we can learn from the fossils left behind, The Day of the Dinosaur will entertain the true budding dino-fan and, hopefully, lead them to bigger, better, more scientifically exact books about dinosaurs down the road, when they're ready. - AnnaLovesBooks

Great Read

My 3 year old loves this book and it has helped him to understand the progression of life. He now understands that Dinosaurs and others came before us. He also understood the joke at the end. We really enjoy reading this book together.

Day of the Dinosaur

My 2 year old loves this book. He has memorized almost every word. And since it is written in prose, my 9 month old likes to listen to it also. There may be inaccuracies in this book, but it is a nice introduction to the dinosaurs.
