Book Review- How Do Dinosaurs Laugh Out Loud?

By Jane Yolen & Mark Teague
Published by Scholastic
Released on September 1st, 2010

Ages 4-6
3 Stars- It's A Good Read

How does a dinosaur laugh? It begins with dinosaur giggles and chuckles and grins. How does a dinosaur joke? Well, you see-by reading this book the whole family!

Does a dinosaur laugh at a pie in the face? Does he how what a friend is tripped up by a lace?
Does he mug? Does he bug everyone at the store? Does he throw a banana skin onto the floor?
OR...
Does a dinosaur roar at a joke or a pun?
Does he find that jokes make a day chock-full of fun?
If you look in this book you will laugh right out loud. So, come join the giggling dinosaur crowd.

My kids love the How Does A Dinosaur books. This new release is a lift the flap, laugh out loud, joke book. Each page has a fun joke and when the flap is lifted, the answer is revealed. Some jokes were a little over my kid's head, but for the most part they understood them and laughed out. This is a good read and I would recommend this book to all How Do Dinosaur fans.
