Oh my goodness this is adorable! The perfect gift for a kid's birthday :)
The illustrations are bright and silly, the story itself gives ya the warm fuzzies.
I was so happy to learn this is part of a series of books.
My son isn't ready for these quite yet, they're definitely on the longer side even though the topic is so simple. Once he's ready though, I plan to purchase them all!

This books is so cute, the rhyming was spot on, the illustrations were fantastic. My daughter who is super into Dino’s would absolutely love to get this book for her birthday next year. Thanks for the opportunity to read and review.
My niece loves dinosaurs and she LOVED this book! Not only was it engaging and kept her attention, but the illustrations had her lighting up with excitement!
Dino-Bithday by Lisa Wheeler is a fun book for all children. The book celebrates birthdays throughout the year, showing how different dinosaurs choose to celebrate their special day. The book helps learn dinosaur names, gives funny anecdotes, and has great overall message. My kids always wish their birthday was a different time of year, but this book shows how all times of year can make for a fun time and they will be invited to fun parties throughout the year. I read this book with my seven year old and he loved it!
I loved so much about this book. I loved that we got a glimpse into every characters birthday based on their season. All the fun things they got to do in the weather. I also loved that the pterodactyl twins would dress up and play pranks on their friends, but the friends were never angry at this they just loved it even more. It was so adorable that at the pterodactyl twins birthday the other friends dressed up as sharks to scare them and play a prank on them. It was a lot of fun reading this book. The artwork was very bright and vibrant. The story was very engaging. I could definitely see buying the whole Dino World Series for my nieces and nephews. Was a lot of fun!
If you ever wondered what kind of themed birthday a T-Rex would have, this picture book answers that question! In fact, you'll find out what far out spacy and water splashing themed parties all different types of dinosaurs would have in this one! I loved the rhyme schemes and the whimsical illustrations!
Highly recommend for: birthday kiddos 1-4 and any dinosaur lover!
My son really liked this series when he was little - he is a teen now - and I found them fun both in terms of the rhyme, subject matter and illustration. So, I went into this one thinking that it would be yet another hit. And it was. The artwork is consistent with all of the previous books: bright and fun. The rhyme does not disappoint and leads you through the various dinosaurs and their birthdays. And the story moves well for a picture book, with the two dinos who cause a bit of mischief adding a bit of comic relief.
This is a great read along or bedtime story and is also fun for in class or library story time. If the previous books in the series were a success, then this one will be too. And a great gift for birthdays. I mean, why doesn't want a birthday book on their birthday?!
New favorite!! Can’t wait to buy this once it’s released. What a fun story with beautiful illustration
Such a fun book! I have some dino obsessed boys who would love this for their birthday. I love that it can be a birthday gift and a cute bedtime story year round. I also love a kids book that rhymes. Makes it so much easier to read after a long day! I'll definitely be getting a copy for my house when it's released!
Super cute. My toddler loved it. Dinosaurs are her favorite at the moment. Definitely will be reading to her over and over again.
The rhyming scheme combined with the illustrations in this book were so fun! Both my nine year old daughter and my class of middle schoolers found this book fun to read.
My five year and I enjoyed this newest edition to the Dino series. His favorite part was the triceratops birthday because that's his favorite dinosaur and he also loves roller skating. As a mom and a teacher, I enjoyed the higher level vocabulary and the rhyming. Very cute and will be loved by any kiddos who love dinosaurs.
My kids love the Dino books! I liked how the author highlighted different birthday celebrations for each season in Dino-Birthday, but I wish there were more dinosaurs represented, as we have seen in other books in the series. Also, I'm also not sure what the point was of emphasizing the picture-taking at the end of each seasonal celebration. Overall, this is a good addition to the Dino series, but I prefer other books my family has enjoyed in this series.
Thank you to Lerner Publishing Group for gifting my family with an ARC to review. All opinions are my own.
I love this book! I can picture it clearly: kids that love dinosaurs will read this book and promptly start planning their next birthday party...which will be dino-themed. It was awesome how the author made sure to show birthdays in every season. It helps make this book more personal because all kids can resonate with this book in some way. Another thing that was really cool was the whole "prank" motif shown throughout the book. This allows kids to catch onto a joke, and I know that there will be a lot of joy felt in reading this book. Lastly, the illustrations were impressive! Weather, emotion, depth, light, fun, color, and (most importantly) dinosaurs were shown so vividly, and effortlessly breathed life into this book.
Bravo!
Dino-Birthday is fun! The illustrations are bright and engaging. The dinosaurs in this story look like they are having so much fun; I want to jump in the book and join them. As a teacher, I immediately noticed several ways I can use this book to meet state standards: rhyming and synonyms are just two lesson topics I can think of without even trying. I prefer reading hard cover books to my class, so I look forward to this book being published.
I was given a free copy of this from NetGalley for my honest review.
I love the illustrations for this cute little story. Littles are sure to love the colors and the theme is amazing. Everyone has a birthday it doesn't matter the time of year. The best part it also say that each of the dinos plan their birthdays in their own way.
It's a quick read with engaging rhymes and vibrant illustrations following a group of friends birthday celebrations. Dino-Birthday is perfect for storytime at the library, to read to your child, or for young readers who love dinosaurs.
I want to thank the author and publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
Any young reader who is enamored of dinosaurs will love this book,
It's filled with vivid dinosaur illustrations and catchy dinosaur rhymes. It serves 2 functions. Besides enjoying the details of dinosaurs, the identification of seasons is an extra plus.
Delightful!
Very cute book, perfect for the dinosaur loving child! The illustrations are fun and bright, with lots of detail. The text seems to flow smoothly and it was fun to see what mischief the pterodactyl twins were going to get into!
Illustrations are very good, writing is pretty good and fun! Any young kid who enjoys dinosaurs will like this!
