How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night? by Jane Yolen, Illustrated by Mark Teague

I really enjoyed this book a lot. It was very entertaining and the rhyming scheme throughout the book made it very readable. Also, the book was very informative. For example, every dinosaur's name is written somewhere in their respective room so that children can learn and make connections between the classification of dinosaur and the drawing of what it looks like. The book has great illustrations, and I especially enjoyed how the dinosaurs were drawn very large to show just how big they are in comparison to humans, a dog, house, bed, etc. I also enjoyed how the book showed many different dinosaurs before bed time. For example, dinosaurs such as a T-Rex, Stegosaurus, and Pteranodon are all in the book. It was also every entertaining to see how the dinosaurs might behave when told it was time to go to bed. The ending was very entertaining and added a bit of a twist and surprise to the story. Overall, great picture book!
