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!

As a preschool teacher, I am always looking for books that my students will like. I really enjoy Dino-Birthday. It was a fun story about how birthdays can be celebrated and it also had the season in the book which is great to teach children and the illustrations make it perfect to ask children questions about each season.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC!

My 3yo loved it. Dinos having birthdays seemed to make a lot of sense to her. She wanted more T Rex, though, but what can you do? Illustrations were fun and colorful, and the pteranodons were a fun part!

I received an electronic ARC from Lerner Publishing Group through NetGalley.
Wheeler's dinosaurs never disappoint. In this book, they celebrate birthdays in all four seasons. The Ptero twins keep up the excitement at the parties by dressing in costumes to match the themes. Each celebration is loads of fun with a message of connecting with friends. Readers who have read prior books will recognize the characters and enjoy seeing them recognized and celebrated on their own birthdays. Love the surprise at the final party when the Ptero twins are surprised at their water themed celebration. Gott's colorful illustrations are easily recognizable with their consistency to the rest of the series. Looking forward to the next volume. Checkout the hint provided at the end.

When dinosaurs have birthdays, everyone is invited! This was so much fun, getting to know all the dinosaurs and watch them as they celebrated the same way we do, with parties and pizza and roller skating. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this bright, cute, funny picture book
